Episodes
Abby breaks down being an astronaut from the education you need before you go to space to some of the challenges when you're in space (like sleeping without zombie arms!).
Abby discusses the challenges astronauts will face on a mission to Mars from what an astronaut journeying to Mars will need to wear, to how they will breathe, to what they will eat, and more.
Black holes are some of the most mysterious objects in the galaxy. Abby dives into discussing singularities of black and even theoretical white holes. There's a "hole" lot of information you won't want to miss.
Abby explores some of the differences between living on space vs. Earth, including size, gravity, oxygen levels, temperature, and more. Be sure to bring your spacesuit...Abby will talk about what happens if you don't wear one in space.
How can you become an astronaut? Abby will give a summary of the requirements needed, from schooling to physical training to scientific research and what to do if your country doesn't have a space agency.
Abigail Harrison, aka Astronaut Abby, is an aspiring astronaut with the goal to be the first to walk on Mars. As a Forbes 30 Under 30 Leader in education and a top STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) and space influencer, Abby has spoken about the importance of human space exploration and STEM in TedTalks, news programs, social media, and events all over the world. Now, Abby is coming to your screens as the host of her very own web show, answering questions on space and science submitted by the viewers. Produced by the 501(c)(3) non-profit The Mars Generation, #AskAbby will cover almost any question, from the effects of space on the human body, to extraterrestrial life, to the physics of a black hole, to how to make the very best astronaut Halloween costume. No matter how small or how wacky, this Wellesley College astrobiology graduate and researcher is willing to tackle any science topic, puns and Star Trek humor included, of course.
