Do you have a story? A story about space that you’ve been thinking about for some time?   Your story has the potential to change the way we explore space, but opportunities to share your story have been limited, challenging, and undiscovered. Until today.  Today, a simple story will fly to space, changing how we explore it.  Your story. Right here, right now. www.storiesofspace.com  Listen to this episode as Beth personally invites you to fly your story to space.  Humans have imagined what space exploration might look like for years and put their imagination into stories – from science fiction books to movies. These stories sparked the actual development of space transportation systems, stations, and exploration missions. Even the constellations we enjoy at night have their own unique tales.    The Stories of Space Project™ collects your story and carries it on a satellite launched from historic Cape Canaveral, FL, in June 2023.  The satellite will deliver this unique payload to the International Space Station, where it will be exposed to the harshness of space for six months and then returned to Earth.  The STORIES Project™  (Story SD cards Testing and On-board Research on the International Space Station Experiment and Survey) will not only fly stories to space but will also help determine ideal data storage hardware for future commercial space applications.   The Stories of Space Project™ is a rare opportunity for you to share your personal space narrative. Each week, one of the submitted pieces flown in space will be selected and debuted worldwide on the Casual Space Podcast, where we will read your entire story. This experience makes space accessible to everyone and will change how we explore space—one story at a time.
