Manifest Space: Space Influence with Virgin Galactic Astronaut Kellie Gerardi 11/2/23
Virgin Galactic set off its six human spaceflight this year and tenth to date—and the first of many planned by one prominent space commentator. Flying to suborbital space, the publicly-traded commercial space company launched its Galactic 05 mission carrying three passengers along with Virgin Galactic crew aboard its VSS Unity space plane. Kellie Gerardi, the mission’s payload specialist, is what some would call a space influencer: a mission operations lead at Palantir Technologies, a former board member at The Exploration Club, and published author with a social media following of over 700,000. Kellie joins Morgan Brennan just hours after the launch to discuss the mission, the microgravity research conducted, and her fulfillment.
