Hey Cosmic Girls! If you had the opportunity to ask a member of a pioneering exploration family any question you might have about space, exploration, missions, whatever you have been curious about, what would you ask?  Well, here is your chance to do so!!! Space2Sea Antarctica, moderated by Janet’s Planet own Janet Ivey Duensing (and a COSMIC GIRL HERSELF!!!) is giving you Cosmic Girls an opportunity to ask Jacque Cousteau’s Granddaughter a question. If your question is chosen, your name will be mentioned, along with your question and that YOU ARE AN AMAZING COSMIC GIRL! WHOOP! This event takes place on December 20th. Celine Cousteau is taking YOUR questions about anything you have ever been curious about and will be answering them! Please leave your questions in the comments below this post. Celine Cousteau wears many hats, as a conservationist, diver, filmmaker, author, and many more titles, who connects humans with nature, while calling for the preservation of our planet via exploration for social education. Did you know that 80% of our planet’s oceans remain unexplored? Did you know that life and health of our oceans directly correlates with the entire planet’s health? Did you know that in the 1960’s, NASA, in partnership with Jacque Cousteau, started a program to put human into Earth vast waters and onto the ocean’s floors, to study the effects of deep diving, while exploring the oceans around them. These dives were used to simulate space environments, as the ocean shares many similarities, including the use of robotic explorers and the study of environments that could support life. Did you know that Jacque Cousteau’s Aquanauts, as they would become known, included some original astronauts but also a group of women, including Sylvia Earle- who still dives, explores and advocates to this day! More info: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/women-aquanauts-tektite-ii Scuba diving and being able to operate in a microgravity environment goes hand in hand as training for all Astronauts. Imagine, being able to experience working in a space environment before ever stepping a space boot on another planet!!!! What questions do you have for Celine Cousteau? Post your questions in the comments below!

Our own COSMICALLY wonderful founder, Dr. Mindy Howard @astromindy is featured in a brief interview in the latest issue of Marie Claire in The Netherlands! Dive into her inspiring journey and insights on space exploration and gender equality in STEM. Find the translation in English here below: "Only 11% of all astronauts in the world are women. That's why Cosmic Girls Foundation is organizing a worldwide competition for 14-year-old girls up to the age of 19 to work in space. Participants of the "6 Girls 6 Continents" competition will have the opportunity to compete in special space education programs. In the end, the six finalists (one from each continent) are allowed to participate in astronaut training, including parabolic flight, inner space training and centrifuge training. And the winner may make a suborbital spaceflight. "We want to build self-confidence in economically vulnerable young women around the world, and inspire them to pursue great ambitions, such as becoming astronauts", says Dr. Mindy Howard, founder and CEO of Cosmic Girls. "We provide them with skills, training and international connections, to give them the opportunity to make their dreams come true."🚀 #MarieClaire #MindyHoward #WomenInSTEM #SpaceExploration
