Our “Photo of the Week” this week is a short TikTok video, this one in honor of women’s history month. In it, Delta asks her mom, science educator Kellie Girardi, about how many women have been to space and then weighs very honestly about her feelings on that!

And mom weighs in with the deets on NASA’s exciting Artemis program, about which Delta is super stoked the way only little kids can be. Thanks, Delta and thanks, Kellie!
