Reno Family foundation is at the Museum of Science for an out-of-this-world conversation with the women who are changing who gets to go to space and why it matters here on Earth.

Space has long been a place of firsts, but not everyone has had a seat at the table. Today, astronauts, scientists, and storytellers are opening doors, from commercial spaceflight to research on women’s health in microgravity, and they are bringing the fight for equity and justice with them. What does it take to be the first? What does space exploration look like when more voices have a say in it? And how can the work being done in orbit help build a better future for everyone on the ground?

Astronauts Dr. Sian Proctor and Amanda Nguyen share their journeys, the barriers they’ve broken, and what they hope comes next, in a conversation moderated by astronomer and science communicator Athena Brensberger, also known as @AstroAthens. Whether you’re a lifelong space fan or just starting to look up, come be inspired by the people who are reaching for the stars and bringing the rest of us with them.
