Welcome to the Club

Mother and future astronaut Kellie Gerardi shares her excitement for the future of space flight along with friend and Virgin Galactic predecessor Sirisha Bandla. Sirisha, a groundbreaking astronaut herself, reflects on her journey to the stars on last year’s Unity 22 mission as she and Kellie tour Spaceport America®, New Mexico in the Range Rover . The women share hopes about next year’s mission as Gerardi views Bandla’s custom space suit and pilots a flight simulator. Girardi’s upcoming 2023 research mission exemplifies the possibilities of citizen space travel, something previously only possible through government entities.
