Blue Origin’s New Shepherd vehicle launched into space Friday morning with Morgantown native Emily Calandrelli on board.
Calandrelli was the biggest name on board, known for her science programs “Emily’s Wonder Lab” on Netflix and “Emily’s Science Lab” on YouTube. West Virginians also know her as an ambassador for the state. She’s from Morgantown and graduated from West Virginia University before furthering her education at MIT.
She is the 100th woman to travel to space and among the first from West Virginia.
She came and visited my son’s school last year. He was totally enthralled. She seems a really cool person.
