Abigail Harrison is a girl with a dream. She wants to someday be an astronaut, but it doesn’t stop there--she plans to be the first astronaut to Mars. With a dream that big, it takes setting goals and working hard each day to make it a reality. Her determination has paid off, allowing her to be present for several once-in-a-lifetime launches: In 2011, she attended the STS-134, the last launch of Endeavour. In 2013, she traveled to Russia as a special guest of Italian Astronaut Luca Parmitano to be a part of a legendary Soyuz launch – Soyuz-TMA-09M. Most recently in 2014, she attended EFT-1, the first test launch of the Orion spacecraft. The opportunity to witness history as it is being made and the impact on the future of human space exploration has been inspirational and motivational for Abby personally. Reporting these experiences to the world and serving as an ambassador for the future of space has been an honor for this now 17-year-old young woman.
