Why she quit a dream job at NASA to lead space missions for Japan

Today we sit down with Janelle, a former Nasa operations engineer, and current Flight Director working on lunar missions at a private space company in Tokyo. We dive into what it's like working in such high stake environments, what it takes to carry out a space mission, manning the control center, and the endless opportunities space exploration means for mankind. Hear all about her journey working with space, and also how quitting a dream job as a literal rocket scientist at NASA for an opportunity in Japan has changed her perspective on working in the industry
