She was one of 12 students, of\nthe more than 200 total SEES interns, who were invited to the OSIRIS REx VIP reveal event at\nNASA Johnson Space Center in October. The selection of students was based on the program\nmentors’ recommendations as well as the students’ ability to be ambassadors for the SEES\nprogram, Edwards said.\nShe spoke to Radio Chatskill's Tim Bruno. ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/q7XXsnSXT_u4mZLCn3chUorwDmUD_kWiB272D6emB18/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80N2Uy/OGY5MWUwZThkYTEw/NDVkZGM2ZGZkZDIw/ZjliOS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
