Who is NASA astronaut Scott Tingle?

While in grade school, NASA astronaut Jessica Watkins dreamed of exploring outer space .
Later, Watkins found her passion in geology, and excelled in sports. Her life changed when she received a phone call in 2017. I got the phone call (asking me if I) want to come down to Johnson Space Center, she said. It was really quite a moment of realizing that (childhood) dream.
Three years after joining the astronaut corps, the Lafayette native was assigned to NASA s Artemis Team, with its goal to reach the moon by 2024.
If assigned to the future moon landing mission, Watkins would be the first woman to take a step on the moon.
NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick has always been an explorer.
Whether the Wheat Ridge native was exploring a new hiking trail in the Rocky Mountains or test flying a new naval aircraft, he s always been curious about everything around him.
But in the near future, Dominick could have the chance to explore an even more remote area.
The moon.
On Dec. 9, NASA announced that 18 astronauts, including Dominick, were selected for its Artemis Team, whose goal is to return to the moon by 2024. You ve dreamed about the moment when you get the call a lot, but this is the actual real moment. And it s hard to capture in real words, Dominick said.
