I fly out next Tuesday to join the Kosmica crowd in Mexico City for the next installment of this project, which “brings together earth-bound artists, astronomers, performers, space explorers and musicians from across the globe.”

(Pictures and videos to follow, and perhaps even an article or two commissioned for Space Policy…I’m very excited/ ¡Estoy emocionada!)
