Amanda Gutierrez's unique vision of how astronauts could live on the moon earned the Lincoln Pius X student a trip to NASA’s Orion spacecraft launch as part of the Artemis I mission. Her essay was one of three selected in a nationwide contest. She is seen Wednesday holding a model of a NASA Saturn V rocket, which was used to send astronauts to the moon.
