An Astronaut and a Mother, with Naoko Yamazaki, former JAXA Astronaut

In this fifth episode, we are joined by none other than Naoko Yamazaki - engineer, researcher, and Japan’s second ever female astronaut.

Our conversation with Yamazaki-san centers around her experience as a working mother in the space industry and her perspective on the importance of teaching children about space. We also touch on the work she has been doing and how space can help solve the sustainability challenges the world faces today.
