At only 15 years old, Alyssa is already the first person to attend all three NASA Space Camps in the world, including Space Camp Turkey and Space Camp Canada. In January 2013, NASA invited her to be on the MER 10 panel in Washington DC to discuss future missions to Mars live on NASA TV and she was later selected as one of 7 ambassadors representing Mars One, a mission to establish a human colony on Mars in 2025. Needless to say, she's on track to become Baton Rouge's first Martian. We dive into how that dream began, the challenges ahead and the future of humanity in outer space.
