In this episode of THE IDEALISTS.: Melissa speaks with Dr. Sian Proctor, who launched into Earth's orbit as pilot of the Crew Dragon with SpaceX. As a geoscientist, artist, poet, and astronaut, not only did she grace the cover of Times Magazine, but she also appeared in “The Colony” on The Discovery Channel, “Genius by Stephen Hawking” on PBS, “Strange Evidence” on the Science Channel, and “Countdown” on Netflix. During the conversation, Sian takes us into space with her and it is quite a marvel.
What we learned: Sian begins the conversation by explaining the history of space travel and then describes her emotional and physical preparation to launch into orbit— including a phone conversation with former First Lady Michelle Obama. Sian then details the monumental beauty of Earthlight by reciting a poem she wrote while in the space craft.
