NASA released a digital novel recently. “First Woman: NASA’s Promise for Humanity” imagines the story of Callie Rodriguez, the first woman to explore the Moon.
According to NASA, while Callie’s story is fictional, the first woman and the first person of color will walk on the Moon as part of NASA’s missions. Through this novel, NASA aims to inspire explorers – the Artemis Generation.
The 40-page comic book highlights NASA technologies for traveling to, landing on, and exploring the Moon. The format comes to life, letting readers engage and interact through augmented reality (AR) elements using the First Woman website or their mobile devices.
Readers can download the First Woman application to explore life-sized environments and 3D objects, including NASA’s Orion spacecraft and the lunar surface. Additional content includes videos, games, challenges to earn collector badges, and ways to virtually participate in NASA missions.
