This 2023 decided to launch her acceptance letters in a model rocket. What happens next will surprise you… JK, but hi I’m Amanda Shayna Ahteck and I’m very excited to be joining the MIT Class of 2023! The greatest thanks to the Back To Space organization and Comanche Springs Astronomy Campus and the Three Rivers Foundation for giving me the amazing opportunity to go stargazing and launch my first model rocket!
