Taconic grad Stephanie Wilson talks about next trip into space, memories of Berkshires - The Berkshire Eagle

If NASA offered frequent-flier miles for traveling into outer space, Stephanie Wilson would have plenty to cash in.

The Taconic High School graduate has made three trips to space, and she is set to make a fourth. Vice President Mike Pence announced this week that Wilson will be part of a group of 18 astronauts who will travel to the moon this decade. The mission of NASA’s Artemis program is to return astronauts to the moon by 2024, with the long-term goal of undertaking human missions to Mars.

Wilson’s last voyage into space was in 2010, and she also made trips in 2006 and 2007.
