Synopsis
Embark on an extraordinary journey to the stars with Alyssa Carson, the young trailblazer who's been reaching for the cosmos since the age of five. This unique guide offers more than just a glimpse into the life of a young astronaut; it provides a roadmap for dreamers everywhere, answering the burning question: "How can I become an astronaut?" Carson's reflections, hard-won achievements, and firsthand experiences create a compelling narrative that resonates with young adults aspiring to defy boundaries. With a mission to inspire and lay the groundwork for future astronaut-hopefuls, "Ready for Liftoff" is not just a book; it's a guide to unlocking the potential within, proving that dreams of reaching the stars are within everyone's grasp. Dive into the cosmos and lift off with Alyssa Carson as she encourages the next generation of pioneers to confidently pursue their own extraordinary paths. Alyssa Carson has been training to go to space since she was five years old. By nineteen, she became an aquanaut, skydiver, pilot, global speaker, and the youngest person to graduate from the Advanced Space Academy. Her goal is to be on the first mission to Mars, which is projected for the early 2030s. In Ready for Liftoff, she reflects on her journey so far, discussing hard-won achievements and taking readers through the mental and physical training, academic pursuits, and invaluable guidance she received from esteemed mentors, including NASA and Space Camp.
