As TCU News reported last year, Anna Menon 鈥�08 is one of four crew members training for the Polaris Dawn鈥痬ission, which will endeavor to fly to the highest Earth orbit that anyone has ever flown.鈥�
As is often the case, the mission has seen delays but is now targeting this summer. Menon was recently on the TODAY show to talk about a special part of her journey: a book she co-created called 鈥淜isses From Space.鈥�
鈥淚t is the story of a mama dragon as she journeys to space and shares that with her baby dragons back here on earth,鈥� Menon said. 鈥淚t is the story of how love can overcome any distance. I will be reading this book live from space to my kids back here on earth who are 3 and 6, as well as some of the brave patients of St. Jude鈥檚 Research Hospital.鈥�
