Marco Thompson is currently an undergrad pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering with the goal of one day working on space habitats and closed-looped systems. Marco actively participates in influencing and advocating for NASA's space policies in Washington D.C. He can be found visiting Kennedy Space Center watching rocket launches or looking at the night sky with his telescopes. Marco spends free-time kayaking and hiking with his wife in the beautiful Florida landscape. He has always had an interest in space, ever since his mother brought him to her college astronomy class. Marco's mind was forever changed from that point, learning about the size and scale of planets and stars in the universe gave him awe and joy. Marco loves and hopes to share that wonder and excitement with others.
