Forged in the Stars

The World

Living on Earth is proud to present storyteller Jay O’Callahan’s new work “Forged in the Stars.” O’Callahan was commissioned to write “a
love letter to NASA” in honor of the nation’s space agency’s 50th anniversary. “Forged in the Stars” is the result of almost two years of research, including interviews with astronauts, engineers, and many other NASA employees.
