One Giant Leap for Womankind

By

Riley McManus

My podcast, One Giant Leap for Womankind, explores the role of women in the space industry and how their opportunities have changed over time. As an aspiring aerospace engineer, I found it very interesting to learn about the challenges women faced in the field and all the contributions women have made to space exploration. From the Space Race to now, women have contributed so much to the field. Through this podcast, I highlight women who have helped make space exploration possible, and I show how the field has become more accessible over time. These experiences show how science moves forward and how the next generation, like many readers and me, can continue to pave what’s possible. Creating this podcast furthered my excitement for the future of space exploration and the opportunities that are possible. I hope you enjoy!
