For #WorldSpaceWeek we are celebrating #WomenInSpace! 👩🏼‍🚀👩🏽‍🚀👩🏿‍🚀 Inspired by real @NASA_Astronauts, our new graphic novel follows Callie Rodriguez, from her childhood dreams of space travel to becoming the "First Woman" on the Moon. More about her story: go.nasa.gov/3a35nJn
First Woman" tells the tale of Callie Rodriguez, the first woman to explore the Moon. While Callie is a fictional character, the first female astronaut and person of color will soon set foot on the Moon – a historic milestone and part of upcoming NASA Artemis missions. Issue No. 1: Dream to Reality follows Callie's trailblazing path as she and her robot sidekick, RT, overcome setbacks, disappointment, and tragedy along the way. From her childhood dreams of space travel to being selected as an astronaut candidate, Callie takes us on her journey to the Moon. Through a series of graphic novels and interactive digital platforms "First Woman" aims to capture our attention and unite the next generation of explorers who will return to the Moon.
