Abigail Harrison wants to be the first person on Mars, and she’s on a mission to inspire others to help with those efforts.
That’s why she stated The Mars Generation, a non-profit dedicated to getting young people involved in STEM and space exploration. The group hosts various outreach events and offers a scholarship for low-income students to attend space camp.
