If you don't try, then of course it's not going to happen.”ĭuring 30 minutes of questions and answers, Meir discussed the future of human spaceflight, the challenges involved in becoming an astronaut and how she and her fellow astronauts stay physically and mentally healthy in space. “And because I did that, that's really the only reason why I ended up here today. “It was a decision I had to make to do that - to take the risk and not be afraid to fail again,” she said. The event was held as part of Brown's yearlong, community-wide celebration and exploration of the 50th anniversary of the Open Curriculum, the University’s innovative approach to teaching and learning.
13, Meir shared a message of perseverance with hundreds of Brown students and community members gathered on campus for a live Q&A session streamed from the ISS as Meir flew 250 miles above the Earth.
25, 2019, she lifted off for her first mission in space as a crew member on the International Space Station. In the end, Meir decided that not applying would be a decision she’d question for the rest of her life. “When the time came to apply again I thought, well, do I want to put myself through that mental toll and long process when I'm sure it will be the same result?” “I was working as a comparative physiologist, doing experiments with animals in extreme environments, and it was something I felt very fulfilling,” said Meir, a Class of 1999 Brown graduate. When it came time to apply for the 2013 class, she wasn’t sure she wanted to go through it all again. She had been chosen as a finalist for the 2009 class of NASA astronauts, but ultimately was not selected as one of the nine women and men in that class. Just a few years ago, Jessica Meir nearly let go of her lifelong dream to fly in space. Media advisory, press release, infographic, video and image gallery.PROVIDENCE, R.I.
