The Search for Alien Life

Astrobiologist, Aquanaut, Future Mars Walker
About Alyssa Carson
Like most kids, Alyssa dreamed of going to space; unlike most kids, however, she has spent her entire childhood making it happen. A seven-time Space Camp attendee and the first to complete the NASA Passport program, Alyssa is the youngest person ever to complete the Advanced Possum Academy, which made her an astronaut trainee, and completed an Applied Astronautics degree...all before she graduated high school. Now an Aquanaut and college student studying astrobiology, Alyssa serves as a brand ambassador for future-minded companies (including the Mars One program) and writes books and gives speeches encouraging the youth in her generation to join her in the future of space exploration.
