Mara Zonderman has been excited about space travel since she was 8 and her parents thought she just might like to watch an episode of a science fiction TV series. Not being particularly adept at science, Mara went on to become a librarian, but never lost her love of space and of the idea of space travel. Mara has two sons, and is thrilled that they share her passion and are excited to watch rocket launches and track missions with her.
