Growing up in upstate New York, Kate was captivated by space exploration from a young age.

This fascination guided her from dreams of becoming an astronaut to a significant role at the Intrepid Museum, where she curates compelling educational content and interactive programs.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Kate’s transformative journey from aspiring astronaut to aerospace curator.

Quote:

“Space isn’t just rockets and stars and things like that.

There’s a lot that goes into this with the human aspect of it, technology development, stuff that we ended up with on Earth, like Velcro?

Velcro’s from space.”
