Heather Vargas VS The Universe: Actually in Space

Today our hero reminisces on her time in her Pathways to Space class that not only helped her with her love of science and the cosmos but helped her pick up a space minor as part of her degree. Not only did she become an expert on all things space and could describe astrophysics like she’s Young Sheldon but she also would also start to teach you about your place in the cosmos at parties as neat party trick. Although she attributes becoming a future astronaut to the resurrection of her love for science thanks to this class taught by Professor Chris Koehler at the University of Colorado Boulder where suddenly even the wildest concept in space become very simple, all the lessons came together like they were marvel movies,  and every class included guest appearances from famous or powerful CU alumni that works in the Space Industry currently. While this has been her favorite class ever she’s sad she came to boulder on his 9th year as a teacher and will no longer teach the class even though the class will go on because he made it great but im sure someone will keep it going, She’s been going to college longer than he’s been a teacher funny enough so clearly it shows the level of his skill if he manage to crack her and get her to understand protons and neutrinos. With that in mind… Will she make it to space? How far will she go? Will she ever come back? Find out next time on HVVSTU
