The Girl Who Dreams to Live on Mars | Talk with Alyssa Carson

As children we are often confronted with the question: "What do you want to do when you grow up?" and most often, we have the wildest ideas of what we want to do. We want to become sports professionals, princesses, adventurers, or astronauts. In our innocence, we believe that anything is possible, but regrettably, most of us lose our innocent belief and give up on our dreams.

Not Alyssa Carson, though. Already at the age of 3, she dreamed of being involved in space exploration. "My father told me about the moon landings and that we could one day travel to Mars," and that got her curious about the topic and made her watch videos, read books and go to all the Space Camps she could find. By age 7 she knew space was her dream and Mars her destination, so she went for it with all she got.

In this episode of Moonshot Pirates Talks, Alyssa Carson shares more about her journey and about space in general and shares more stories about her training, talks about the books and shows that got her into space, and offers more tips on how to stay motivated and succeed in reaching your dreams.
