Good quote: "The patch concept came from Astronaut Evan Dick, who said reaching space in the crew capsule on NS-19 felt like climbing above the surface of the ocean after a lifetime of living below the surface."

So fortunate to have been able to ascend 106 km into space yesterday on @BlueOrigin's New Shephard. Amazing to see the blackness of space and experience zero-g. I hope the flight continues mankind's efforts to increase overall experience with repeatable, reusable space flight.
“This experience matters so much because we’ve been able to touch so many lives just by living out our dreams.” - Katya Echazarreta, NS-21 Astronaut In 2022, people around the world searched on Google, "can I change" - energized by individuals who pursued their passions.
.@Google's #YearInSearch video recently featured Katya Echazarreta's NS-21 flight journey to remind us all to reimagine the world around us. As the first Mexican-born woman in space, we're proud that Katya and her mission inspired so many to see that anything is possible.
