The one where the former NASA employee sends stories to space (Episode 17)

  • Summary

  • Beth Mund’s idea was as stupid as her voice is smooth: send stories to space, with actual astronauts.

    Beth worked at NASA for years in public relations and fell in love with the stars as well as educating people on what’s “out there.” Her time at the space agency eventually led to the idea of partnering with space launches to send personal stories beyond the reach of gravity.

    So she started a non-profit that does just that.

    How? Why? What does it take to do that? And how can YOU send your actual story on one of the next missions? Well, that’s Episode 17 of “That Was Stupid.”

    In this episode, Beth talks about:

    • Aliens (of course)

    • Her time working at NASA

    • The craziest thing she ever experienced at the space agency

    • How she got the idea to send stories to space

    • What it’s like to start a non-profit

    • What it takes to send a story to space

    • The actual scientific research being conducted using her idea

    • How YOU can send YOUR story to space

    • And more!
