I joined mission control in Houston to see how the space agency is incorporating science into its Artemis III planning.
I'm a science journalist in Boulder, Colorado.
I report on the earth, planetary and astronomical sciences. My book ISLAND ON FIRE, coauthored with my husband Jeff Kanipe, is about the extraordinary 18th-century eruption of the Icelandic volcano Laki. Reach me at witzescience@gmail.com.
