Coleman’s presentation and book signing reflects upon her Astronaut’s Guide to Mission Wonder and Making Change
SEATTLE – On Jan. 11, NASA astronaut Cady Coleman, space explorer, scientist, Air Force colonel and mom, will share a presentation based upon her recent memoir, Sharing Space: An Astronaut’s Guide to Mission Wonder and Making Change. Coleman has made two space shuttle missions and a six-month expedition to the International Space Station (ISS) as the Lead Robotics and Lead Science officer. Coleman’s program is at 2 p.m. followed by Q & A and a book signing. The program is free with Museum admission.
As a musician Coleman brought flute melodies to new heights for her “Space Duet” with Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, and her work from space with the Irish band, The Chieftains. She coached actress Sandra Bullock from the ISS in preparation for Bullock’s astronaut role in Gravity, and Coleman is featured in the gripping 2024 documentary, Space: The Longest Goodbye.
