Leah Cheshier and her team at Johnson Space Center in Houston have a massive audience that depends on them for the latest updates from orbit on a near-daily basis. When the first commercial crew mission launched to the station last May aboard Dragon, Leah traveled to SpaceX headquarters in California to help host a livestream of the historic mission's activities.
And she killed it.
Leah is again heading to SpaceX this weekend to host the Crew-1 launch livestream but before she broadcasts to millions of people around the world, she joins the Supercluster podcast to give us the inside story on being a NASA communications specialist at such a critical time in the agency's history.
