Meet Virgin Galactic astronaut Kellie Gerardi.
She works as mission operations lead for Palantir Technologies and as a payload specialist and bioastronautics researcher for the International Institute for Astronautical Sciences (IIAS). She's also an author, a mom, a social media STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) influencer with a resume of qualifications too long to list and followers who number well over half a million — and now she's headed to space.
