A4H members talk TED, chase dreams, and jump out of airplanes
A4H members are involved in a number of worthwhile endeavors outside the Astronauts4Hire organization. Today, we'll highlight a few recent examples. Flight Member Melania Guerra , who recently completed her Ph.D. in oceanography, spoke at the September 2011 TEDxJoven@PuraVida event in San José, Costa Rica. Her presentation titled "Realizando Sueños en Ambientes Extremos" (Fulfilling Dreams in Extreme Environments) focused on her passion for exploration of extreme environments from the seafloor to space, including how Astronauts4Hire helps her achieve her goals. You can watch the video below, but note that it is in Spanish. Melania isn't the only A4H member with ties to the TED organization. Earlier this year, Associate Member Luke Hutchison was selected as a TED2011 Fellow and participated in the "TED2011: The Rediscovery of Wonder" conference in Long Beach, California. YouTube made big waves last week with its announcement of the YouTube Space Lab
