WCW: 'What Life In Space Taught Me About Our Home Planet'
A veteran NASA Astronaut with two spaceflights and 104 days as a crew member on both the International Space Station (ISS) and the Space Shuttle.
Did you know that Carol Ofori visited NASA as a kid? Proof that she was destined for great things very early on in life.
But more than that, it was the beginning of her journey in making a difference to our planet. With her woman crush segment, she is motivating one woman at a time.
This week she got the opportunity to chat with a marvel woman by the name of Nicole Stott.
"Nicole is an astronaut, aquanaut, artist, mom, and now author of her first book Back to Earth ~ What Life In Space Taught Me About Our Home Planet - And Our Mission To Protect It." (NPS discovery)
Having travelled to space twice over, and still juggling all her other roles, when asked how she managed to do it all, she used the word, 'Balance'.
With the support of her husband and her family, she was able to go on two spaceflights spending more than 100 days as a crew member on both the International Space Station (ISS) and the Space Shuttle.
"Nicole believes that the international model of peaceful and successful cooperation we have experienced in the extreme environments of space and sea holds the key to the same kind of peaceful and successful cooperation for all of humanity here on Earth." (NPS Discovery)
Carol took her shot and asked Stott a question that many might find interesting - and Stott's response was quite surprising.
Do you believe that aliens exist?
Surprisingly, Nicole said she did. Based on the magnitude and colossal nature of the universe as a whole, she believes anything is possible.
In addition, she spoke about the fact that there are places on Earth that are beyond our knowledge, so who says aliens don't exist...
