COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) – Today, the astronauts preparing to travel to the International Space Station (ISS) arrived at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Ayers is already well known for her expertise in the cockpit, but as she prepares to take on this new mission next week, she’s reflecting on her time here in the Pikes Peak region and the role it’s played in guiding her to the pilot’s seat on the next NASA SpaceX joint mission.
