From a Childhood Dream to The First Person On Mars | Alyssa Carson | TEDxKlagenfurt 

thank you so much

I screenshoted your comment☺️🤙

This made my day thanks so much!

@@prayutkelaiya woah same.

Myghaaddddddddd you're the crush of my friend named jumir palmaresss

@Hexal One I am 15, have almost the same dream in space exploration, always wanted to build things but never got my hands on anything because i was told to focus on exams, and the exams come all year round.

@@unrealreality.design Continue pursuing that dream dont give up!

That's was my experience as a kid

Your parents are probably right in this case. At that age your far from getting official training by NASA. This is girl is not in any way working for or being trained by NASA. All she's done is gone to a few space camps(not in any way supported by NASA) and her father generated all this buzz for her and it's working. So many people are looking up to her it's sad.

Yes my parents too

I am glad I found your comment 😃😃thanks for restoring hope....

I'm sooo interested in astronomy nd often dreams of going into space.. My parents wants me to Pursue mbbs nd i don't want to disappoint them so I decided to become a space doctor, I will work hard to achieve this goal of my lyf.. However it seems impossible but I won't give up. (I'm writing this to increase my confidence in myself in achieving it)

@@gayaquinn7177 😭😭wow...!!

@@gayaquinn7177 i hope you achieve your dreams😊

@@gayaquinn7177 i am often confused between whats right to do now and what i want actually to do now😞...so but still there are two years for me to decide....i am in my engineering entrance preparation days now...i am only in class 11th

Ahahahha

@@boredperson2108 😅😅

Her*

Hilarious 😂😂😂😂

Now ur age??? plz

Lmao😂😂😂😂

Nabiha Tahsin That's true 😂

@@Shubham_pandey-nk1un oh! you bet!!! XD

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That's me but at 24

Jared Owen she’s only there since her parents have money have common sense ngl

Seems like celebrating too soon, $100 says she is not even the fiftieth person on mars

Make a video on how to reach mars

Interested

Ooo hellow sir! how are you?

Don’t understand all the hate. A lot of people had the same resources and opportunities she had and non of them accomplished what she did. She was lucky to have resources, but she made the decision to work hard towards that goal. Not anyone can do what she did, even with all the money of the world.

@@BarDownBoys Why all the hate towards a girl trying to pursue her dream?

@@BarDownBoys she's an inspiration and is doing something different that's why as soon as you hear of her you're like wow I didn't know that was possible. And she's not the one who is going around saying this stuff, Tedtalk and production companies reach out To her to make a story about it and she explains her story!

@@karinamatos4253 he doesn't hate her he is just trying to Express his opinion and saying that she had much better opportunities than other people and I personally believe that more experienced people must be the first people to got mars

@@karinamatos4253 it's not hate, it's just dissatisfaction...tbh, I also have that, she didn't earned it, she had the privilege to chose, many people( including me) can't make that choice that early in our lives because we have our own financial struggle....and the thing is, she doesn't simply will become an astronaut, she wants to be the FIRST person on Mars, that's why there's hate, there are a LOT of other people too who would want that and willing to give up the same or even more than her....they just need their chance

Yea her parents paid for everything

No, its called being spoilt and rich.

@@north-seascoundrel7328 yup

mudit 09 supported her with money instead of morale bases

@@randombaguette Huh? Whats wrong with her morals? And @britannia432 how dafq is she spoilt? She is living her dream. Obviously it requires money, but also a whole lot of constant motivation.

thats still good at least u did something LMAOOO FEHG8UEYSHIHG

😂😂😂

No cheese?

Woah

And I'm proud of you!

@Petricor money, money, money money everything! She literally didn’t do anything, all she did was go to space camps and training and now she’s here. It would take me 20 years to make it to her spot, look at what money does, I want to be the first person on Mars and it’s not fair. I have a right to dream and peruse my dreams, but money is hiding😒😞

Her father actually is working in the tv industry and raised here alone...

No she has no affiliation with nasa in any way shape or form.

@Petricor same here. It is the reality for poor people. Even though you want to sacrifice everything but no one wants your sacrifice. In my country, there's no space-related courses offered and we dreamers, were left with our second best choice, practicality.

Shrek_wuz_here 05 and that particular astronaut, Anthony England, got his PhD at 25

@@BarDownBoys isnt it gherman titov though?

Pizza Dude12 good point. I was not considering Russian cosmonauts . I thought they had quite different selection process

the mars mission is set for the early 30’s, so alyssa and other astronauts in training will have time to earn degrees.

@@dontsubtome817 1. They will almost cetainly not achieve the early 2030s goal and it's more likely going to be 2040s. 2. They aren't going to be selecting kids to be the first ones going to Mars. The ones going are older and will have already been on multiple missions to the ISS. There's a reason Doug Hurley was selected.

This is so deep, but true. I have not given up yet, but I'm not dreaming that high as well and is never losing touch of reality. It's just funny how success in terms of which level you were born actually affects your choices.

Again for the people in the back! She may have achieved a lot for her age, but she doesn't seem to have a clue about how much money her dream costs. Most of us have to work part time while struggling to pay for college, only for that degree to become useless because there's not enough job demands for what we've learned, and told we don't have enough experience for the few jobs we could get. She has had all of this handed to her. Admirable goal, but she hasn't earned her place when sitting next to those that have had to work their way to the top and obtain possible debt to obtain degree after degree. Struggles she has never even had to think about. My only shot at this point in my life is the path I'm taking now. With absolutely no guarantee of getting anywhere in space and a long shot alone to even get qualified to study it. Hello United States Air Force who is going to give me a job and tuition assistance to TRY to get as many relavent degrees as possible. If I had any advice for this young woman, it would be to go and get the credits, degrees, and work experience of a regular poor person. So she can at least have an idea of how implausible it is for us to walk in her shoes and so she may be even more thankful for the opportunity she has.

True ... I have same condition.. Not every one has access to resources and money .... Life isn't fair

Yeah i agree your point becaise it is also my point and also my condition and also my state in life and also my dream but I NEVER GIVE UP I work so hard to do that and I learn languages I read books and some competitions .... Ok BRO we are always the best from the rich people because one day we gonna be rich and acsses to our dream woth a lot experiences.....of Life who no one cant have it easy

@@selestia219 don't get me wrong but one day ? Please tell me when will come that oneday😔

You can just tell that you wanna do something badly enough. Anything can trigger it. People do projects they think are cool all the time. But it’s rare that you find that one thing that hooks your mind and won’t let go no matter what. That cartoon sparked it for her. It is what it is. I can relate because I watched this one episode of Kim Possible (a cartoon) when I was 10, and it hooked me on the idea of personal vehicles to space. And I didn’t know electrical engineering, or accounting, profit or loss, opportunity cost, business model validation, physics, nothing. I just knew that I wanted to do aerospace engineering. If ever you’re fortunate enough to have your brain sparked so you can say, “this is exactly what I wanna do for the rest of my life” without any justification, you’ll know what her 3 year old mind experienced. I think her parents are NASA engineers or something, so they pushed her to act on this 3 year old vision she had, but that would be all for nothing if she didn’t believe it in her own capacity. I wish you the best, my friend. May you find that thing (or things) you’d do forever 🙏🏽

Float Circuit The point that I was trying to make is that it is very unlikely that this could happen to a 3 year old person. At that age kids are not really able to comprehend those things... they start feeding themselves, dressing themselves... all the basic things, you know, but not deciding what they want to be :) Most people don’t even remember themselves at that age. I do have a passion and I am extremely happy I found it.

There are seven and a half billion people on this planet. Of course there’s bound to be at least one…

@@diananikitaeva9230 you are right. they say bs like that to make more exciting of a story, it is a total lie. around 7 maybe but not three, not even with ridiculously high iq

It’s a made up story, like outer space. This kid has been put into this position, like Greta Thunberg. Very very similar

Τhere is no coming back 😢

Keep going girl!

Same here

That's what makes you unique dear girl! 😘

I am not a girl , but this comment was made by my sister.

true!!! someone should tell my parents that whenever i discuss about my dream of doing something in astronomy, just support and don't just laugh and say "for now atleast study we''l see tht later !" .They dont know the power of a child's imagination!! moreover i'm 15 !! her parents didnt take her dreams granted instead they supported her !!! Such a great parents!!

No, this is basically all scripted by her father, I would watch fresh’s newest video where he talked a lot about her.

@@BlacklistedSoup which vid of fresh?

Keep the focus keep dreaming and you shell succeed to become an Astronaut, and with NASA's Artemis, back to the moon,Space X mars Colonies Star Ship, and Blue Origins Shapards rocket your chances are much greater than mine when I grew up with Apollo. 20 worry about 20 years from now Space is the Future.

If you are a guy you probably won't make it. Cause future is female.

Wish you all the luck dude!! Never give up!

there's no such thing as being "certified" to be an astronaut... Until you are accepted into the astronaut corps and complete the official training for the system you're going to be flying on

I rather see a strong and a great leader and tough 💪 person just like Neil Armstrong not some person getting all happy acting like they did this all for free she doesn’t look serious looks like a littles mommy princess paying NASA billions of money each year so she can go to Mars

She wont go to mars its in her dreams

@SpaceBot I wouldn't go so far as to say she's a fraud. I admire her enthusiasm, and that will get her far. But I do agree that she's overstating what she's done thus far, and saying you're going to be something alone doesn't make it happen. The media is of course latching on because it's a great story from a media point of view, just not very realistic. She did recently get her pilot's license though. I say, let her continue working at her dream and come back in a few years.

I also think it's unfortunate she's throwing her weight behind NASA when they've continually overpromised and underdelivered on deep space human exploration for decades. We're still 20 years from a manned mars flight, at least (and still were 20 years ago). SpaceX could use someone with her enthusiasm.

What does that have to do with anything?

@@zeitviator629 oh yea a priest can behave like a politician then...

@@AmbrishIsCool dude what are you trying to say ?

@@zeitviator629 at the first place why you didn't get my model comment?

@@AmbrishIsCool you're straight cooked

Dude wtf, you roasted your entire life

If I can inspire kids that read this to do their best in life I will roast my life any time

Keep going fam. What do you major in?

@@franksinatraaintmydadnah3907 Computer science

She has no scholarships, she has no real training, her dad pours money into meaningless space camps that make it look like she did something meaningful to be an image. It’s all fake

@@BlacklistedSoup dude how do you know all this, i really trusted her, and now i am doubting it

How

I know😢

i think it feels great-er when someone starts from the ground, from scratch, and builds there way up, THEN reach the level shes at. not have all the money and connections there from the start.

Dream is a dream... It's indeed a great achievement.

Probably because you’re jealous

@@oliviacoy5056 this is basically fake anyways. OP would be jealous of a fraud.

Because she hasn't accomplished anything and just went to a bunch of expensive space camps while her dad markets her as a space model.

All the very best ❤️👍

ALL DA BEST!

Meet you in my private space rocket 🚀😌

Türkiyede nasil mümkün olabilir ki. Yurt dışında eğitim alabilmek için sınavlara gir.

ok

Mtlb kuch bhi !? 😂😂

🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣 Wah bete moj kardi

I just admire the things that she has done. But she actually looks like ananya pandey and this fact is taming my mind not to listen to her seriously 😂

Right.....😂😂😂🤣

Shi bola😂

Ya just like Ananya she struggled a lot

Ananya pandey came to my mind too watching this vid🤣😂😂

Your dream is something no one can steal. It will take tons of hard work and rising above doubt and other odds, but if you want it, keep climbing!

Here im struggling to pay for college fee

Health is wealth (Health is the state of spiritual, mental and bodily wellbeing of a person). Riches cannot gain wealth. Your parents may not be rich and stable, but it is to such that heaven belongs. (Gospel of St. Luke 6:20)

Disagree! You are in charge of your destiny, no one else is.

jeremyn2008 Um you realize her parents spent a lot of money on her education and many summer vacations to Space Camps for her to be where she is now. You’re telling me a poor girl in south Arkansas whose Dad was an alcoholic junky who spent all his cash on booze and drugs and left his kids to survive on saltine crackers doesn’t have a little disadvantage in life compared to a girl like this? Not saying my life isn’t bad and I can’t make the most of it but for you to say people like me wouldn’t of had a completely different life if we had rich and stable parents like this girl is ridiculous and just not true.

jeremyn2008 actually, money is in charge of your destiny. Believe it or not but it’s true.

I wouldn't lol I don't want to leave this beautiful planet

Same here

Why would you not come back???

Exactly lmao. I doubt she will be the first person on mars if at all.

ikr lol

Thanks dude❤️

I feel you 😢✊

Yah ify :(((

It is what it is

What does being born in the USA have to do with anything?

@@emmam.5342 ☹️It is in India it's like near to impossible.

I decided mine at 4 😂

Don't worry just wait till 2040s Till then space travel will be common We will be going to mars just support elon musk plan to mars and we will there Just stay alive and healthy till then :)

@@sidharthraj5664 thank you so much for understand me 😇

You're only 14, you've got plenty of time to achieve your dreams. It's still early enough to switch subject at school. If not, you can always take evening or community science classes after graduating or study science now by yourself at home in your free time, and then apply for a science programme at uni. Don't give up already, your life has just started! Also: very often dreams change as you grow up. Your future job might not even exist yet! You'll be fine :)

@@lsamoa thanks☺💙

Yessss

Mars travel is a long way away, if you tried to get into training now, by your late ages you'll probably be qualified and they'd probably just about be ready to send people to Mars

Money doesn't matter, only goals and effort

Im Thanos because her dad has money

I hope you achieve your dream :)

Become a rich kid playing pretend astronaut by going to space camps with daddy's money?

@@SOMEONE-cd9wf yeah right !

I wish you great success!

Ignore the haters. You know your dream and no one can take it from you. Keep going for it!
