Brynlee has been interested in space from a very young age. Her family saw the Space Shuttle Atlantis lift off for the last time in July 8, 2011. Brynlee was there. (Though being 1.5 years old she does not have any direct memories of it. But perhaps that was one of the events that planted an interest in space.)
She has participated in Homeschool day at Space Center Houston, met an astronaut, and has participated in a STEM Space Camp sponsored by NASA & San Jacinto College Aerospace Program.
