Meet Astronaut Graduate: Loral O’Hara

The start of every new year instills a sense of newfound hope and dedication. It can include setting new goals, starting a new chapter in life, or continuing to chase a lifelong dream. For 13 individuals, the start of 2020 marks a historic time in their lives as they achieve what most people in the world only dream about — becoming an astronaut. On Jan. 10, the newest astronaut class, selected in 2017, will officially become the first class to graduate under the Artemis program at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston after successfully completing two years of basic training.

Being an astronaut is one of the most popular ambitions that people around the globe aspire to from the time they are young, and it shows. During the 2017 astronaut candidate application period, NASA candidates were chosen from a record-setting pool of more than 18,300 applicants, the largest astronaut class since 2000. This doesn’t take into account the multitudes of students, now planning their own paths toward pursuing the only literal “out-of-this-world” career.

With an avid interest in STEM, Loral O’Hara from Sugar Land, Texas, was one of those students with her sights on the stars. Now, she’s one of the 13 astronaut candidates set to walk across the stage and join NASA’s prestigious active astronaut corps. After graduation, the candidates will become eligible for spaceflight, including assignments to the International Space Station, Artemis missions to the Moon and, ultimately, missions to Mars.
