Meet Samantha Cristoforetti, NASA's Crew-4 Mission Specialist


From an adventurous childhood in the Italian Alps to her trailblazing role as one of the first women in the Italian air force, European Space Agency astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti has been exploring most of her life and is ready for more, as a mission specialist on NASA’s SpaceX Crew-4 mission to the International Space Station.  Watch and listen to her story of childhood dreams of spaceflight, and traveling the world to complete her high school and college education, led her to the military and ultimately to becoming an astronaut, and now the opportunity for a second trip to the “outpost of humanity up there in space.”
