Our guest, Bert Carson, is the father of Alyssa Carson who plans to be one of the first people to travel to Mars. NASA intends to go there in the 2030's and, when they do, Alyssa plans to be on-board.
Going to Mars became Alyssa’s dream before the age of 3 (before most kids know that Mars is a planet). She’s now 19 years old and has accomplished more toward achieving her goal than many people accomplish in a lifetime. Find below an abridged list.
Bert talks about the value of talking about your goals with other people (which led to several mentor connections), the importance of follow-through in parenting, and the joys & challenges of having a daughter who plans to, someday, live millions of miles away.
A few of Alyssa's accomplishments include...
