Carson is the first person to complete the NASA Passport Program by going to all 14 NASA Visitor Centers. She is also the youngest person to be accepted and graduate from the Advanced Possum Academy, which officially makes her certified to go to space and become an astronaut trainee.
On top of all things space-educated, Carson is also studying all of her school subjects in four different languages – English, French, Spanish, and Chinese. “The biggest challenge is time and getting everything done at such a young age while also still attending high school. Continuing to train at a young age will also be further difficulties for me but I have done great with it so far.” Alyssa shared.
