Guest: Aisha Bowe - Bahamian Astronaut
Tonight on On the Record, Jerome Sawyer reconnects with one of the most inspiring Bahamians of our time—Aisha Bowe. Just over two years ago, she joined us as a former NASA rocket scientist with dreams of reaching space. Now, she returns—an astronaut. From carrying the Bahamian flag and conch chowder beyond the stratosphere to conducting cutting-edge science aboard Blue Origin’s first all-female crewed mission, Aisha didn’t just visit space—she took the Bahamas with her.
What does Earth look like from up there? What’s next for her groundbreaking work in science, education, and national pride? And when exactly is she planning to go back?
Don’t miss this out-of-this-world conversation with a woman who's changing how we think about what's possible.
