I think people seriously underestimate how important Christina is. She is such an important role model for so many young girls and women out there. Because of her, there are so many wanting to learn, finally taking lead of their own future. I've seen so many women talk about how they're finally finding motivation to eat healthier, exercise, literally changing their lives for the better, and it's all due to Christina Koch.
Because of her, I refound my passion for science as a whole, but more specifically astrophysics and astrobiology. I sighed up to university AND got accepted!! Because of her, I can' wait to do what scares me most.
☆ She has shattered gender barriers in STEM and aerospace, setting multiple records for women in space exploration and actively paving the way for future generations of women to pursue ambitious careers.
☆ Christina set the record for the longest single continuous spaceflight by a woman, spending 328 days aboard the International Space Station in 2019–2020.
☆ She participated in the first three all female spacewalk alongside Jessica Meir in 2019, performing critical repairs on the ISS. She is also the first woman to orbit the Moon.
☆ She works in a field dominated by men, showcasing that engineering and space exploration are fields where women can excel. Christina truly is an amazing example as to how important women role models are, and Christina is heavily involved in mentoring and tutoring, supporting the next generation of women pursuing careers in science and technology.
