This week I’m joined by Podcast host and keynote speaker Beth Mund. Beth and I discuss her experiences as an Analog Astronaut and as a NASA Spokesperson. It’s an excellent conversation into an area most us have no experience in – Please join us, on the next QTS Experience.
About Our Guest
Beth Mund is an Analog Astronaut, Keynote Speaker, and Space Communicator.
While working at NASA as a public affairs officer for the Johnson Space Center, and later as a communication officer for the International Space Station, she reported the many scientific innovations that enhanced and sometimes saved people’s lives, only to see these stories fall to the wayside, undiscovered. Beth became a fiercely passionate advocate for the people and their stories of science and space exploration. She shares their stories on stage, in workshops, on her podcast, in her blog…any opportunity that showcases people who are making tomorrow’s innovations happen today.
About a year ago, Mund created Casual Space, a podcast that provides intimate conversations each week with astronauts, engineers, authors, educators, architects and many more guests looking to share their love for space while helping to inspire the next generation of difference makers. Thousands of listeners continue to grow our casual community of space enthusiasts and advocates.
Beth serves on the Space Camp Alumni Board, and as a Space Drinks board member. She became an Analog Astronaut in November at the HI-SEAS research facility on a Mars simulation mission with a crew of 5 other incredible women.
