The 10-day test flight around the moon will pave the way for the citizens of Earth\u2019s next landing on its nearest celestial body.

Koch`s dream began long ago when the 10-year-old and her family visited Kennedy Space Center. Since then, she has lived and worked on the International Space Station. She holds the record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman with a total of 328 days in space.

Koch heads to the moon representing the best that the public education of North Carolina have to offer: fearless exploration, unwavering optimism for the future of mankind and an ability to inspire with education.
