Woman in space - the first vietnamese woman to join a spaceflight in 2025

Nguyen, who has dedicated her life to empowering women and advocating for justice, will be part of Blue Origin's NS-31 mission. But she’s not just going to space to make history, she is also using her journey to further critical scientific research. During the mission, she plans to conduct experiments related to seed growth and menstrual health in space, pushing the boundaries of what we know about human biology in extreme environments.

Her mission is a powerful reminder of resilience, not just as a survivor but as a trailblazer in STEM and space exploration. From advocating for legislative change to now breaking barriers in the cosmos, Amanda is showing the world that no dream is too big and no challenge too insurmountable.

Do you agree, that this is what happens when passion meets purpose in a good way?

I personally can’t wait to follow her journey and see the impact she’ll make - not only in space but for women everywhere - this is a German male speaking :-).
