Alyssa Carson has big dreams. At the age of 13 she is determined to be the first person to land on Mars. But this is more than wishful thinking - Nasa thinks she stands a chance and she is already in training. Alyssa is studying science and several languages and became the first person to attend all three of Nasa's world space camps. Her call sign at the US space agency is "Blueberry".
The teenager from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, says failure is not an option. And her father says he has the next 20 years of work planned out.

Go for it girl. I wish I had half the direction she has.
yeah she ll be on her mission on 2033 ....
:) thats amazing ...
Great focus and passion.
wow its amazing
Determined..!!!
So paying to go to space camp 50 times means you can be an astronaut? I think I'd prefer the first person on Mars to have at least an engineering degree or something.
Milo Flint Firstly, it seems to me this girl is from a middle class background whose family could afford college in the USA if they wanted to.
Secondly, in many countries college education is free or can be paid for through a student loan that only begins to be paid back when you start earning over a certain threshold.
Thirdly, I don't care if it means someone from a disadvantaged background doesn't get to 'realise their dream': I want the most qualified person to be undertaking such an historic mission. Also, isn't it most peoples' dream to go to Mars?
+djunior874 I agree
Her trip is in 2033 she will be 32 years olddd
They are getting her trained
And she’s doing her college classes
U dont nead engineering degree to go to mars ok that beeing said she will never be the first one on mars that is fact
@@Mokashi17 xd yeah but spacex will send People there in 2024 so big joke on her
I hope this girl truly gets to Mars, and then it will truly be...
A No Man's Sky.
Are u a femenist? Oh well...first of all her chances are really slim since SpaceX is launching a manned mars mission in 2024 and her ride is supposed to be a decade later in 2033 and she wont be of the right age to go to mars in 2024. Oh well alyssa you tried.
And she won't be alone 5 more people with her...
She'll be a great grandma by the time they actually get around to sending people.
I want to go to the red planet.. it's my dream..
Sometimes its hard to decide that I am watching BBC of UK or CNN of US.
The line is blurry, isn't it? >_>
No
Man should and will rule mars but then again we are not the only species on this universe or in any
Good luck
But....do u think that u can come back to earth safely
ONE KID GONNA DIE ON MARS!!!!!!
She seems kinda narcissisty..
I will be the first I promise you
Good luck
I've wanted this so, so bad. I've been studying and training in my own way as well. However, my parents don't have enough money. I will still do anything...anything
Sam Coscia I feel sad for you !
Same!!!! 😭
I also feel so sad for you
how is it going?
Are you a male? If so you won't get a chance.
Sorry kid but nasa planned to go on 2033 where space x planned to go on 2024
@AirTime Rewards SpaceX depends on NASA. Just like what Musk himself said. He's not in competition with them.
Yeah that’s not happening if SpaceX hasn’t gone to the moon. Plus, they are working together
Why the hate? She has the passion and the drive to achieve her dreams. I truly hope that she makes it.
Yeah but it is highly likely she wont, in the end money talks the loudest.
it's smart to take someone who's been studying from a young age and has a passion for it. The best in anything always start young from childhood Bill Gates, Micheal Jackson, Lionel Messi ....
Galileo, Newton...
guy who deciphered Rosetta Stone
Don't ever compare some feminist project like her to those prodigies and goats just never do that

Was it really necessary to make her stand still all day just for a portion of the video?
And is it really fair to select her before future adults (which could be extremely intelligent astronauts) even have a chance to make THEIR dreams come true?
It really doesn’t matter cause there would be too many people to choose from anyway. She has the potential and the trip won’t be for many years so she may get those degrees by the time she goes to Mars. Not every5ing should be based on age and who has the most experience. You wouldn’t like it if your boss picked someone else’s proposal over yours just because they’ve been with the company for longer. She may be the best choice especially because she has grown up surrounded by this stuff.
Lol
This girl is not enough aged to take such decision and must not be conditioned on her later decisions. Has she already chosen a boy friend to accompany her? This seems me a joke...
Alyssa Carson ,, love💓💓💓 from Bangladesh for your dream.
I also hope so
Amio bangali
Me RAPHAEL ISEA has the same dreams as her but it is hard for me because id never been in any NASA camps but iv got good grades on science but still working on math and mastered reading and ever since i was 4 i wanted to do this also studyed astronomy,space exploration and how to fly an aircraft coase my loves aircraft. im 11 now turning 12 on 12/14/14 . She could be the third female pioneer of space exploration.
I look up to neil Armstrong of how he was the first man on the momoonI want to be the first humman on mars
My mom will put me in a NASA camp
soon
But thats me i hope GOD help ma and alyssa thanks thats all for now
I'll stay on earth thank you, it's prettier here 😀
RandomGuy Its pretty now but wait until pollution takes over, outside gets to boiling temperatures, ice melting, floods, polar bears dying, and more
Let me rephrase... I'll stay on earth thank you, it's prettier here during my lifetime
RandomGuy cant handle the rebels youl be mind controlled by mars federal computers that is trigering micro chip rebels should take over the pentagon and kill Anyone planted with this hell shit
Just stop dreaming about that dessert planet, and live self-sustainable, make this world better place, do not destroy nature that's all.
And No Radiation....
I want to be also a astronaut from I was only 5 year old to 12.
But in middle I was disappointed. In I was 13.
But I want to be astronaut again from now. and now I am only 14.my birthday passed away on three days ago.I get step on my 14year.🚀🚀🚀
It's a shame she has completely wasted her entire life. This is a very sad story.
This isn't fair. Some kid is out there simply fascinated with Mars and is dying to be the first one to step on the surface to make history, but his parents doesn't have enough money to take him to NASA Space Centers, Space Camps, International School enrollment like Alyssa. Her chances are very slim and I think it's nice that they're people encouraging her, because you never know, she might just be the first person.
This...is me. I want to be the first so bad. My parents have no money. I will do anything
+Sam Coscia (Samuelcoop2005)
study and do sports
Well, if you know for sure that you won't be able to be the first, work your hardest to be one of the first. Inform yourself about how to become an astronaut. It basically involves superior studies in sciences, maths or engineering, 5 years of experience (master counts as 1-2 and doctorate as 5) in that field or 1000 hours of piloting experience. You must know perfect english and have perfect vision (glasses are allowed). The hardest thing in my opinion is that they have into account where you studied your degree, but if your grades are excellent i'm sure they won't let the chance slip away.
After you've been selected for astronaut candidate you will need to improve your physical training (military training, scuba diving to hold high preassures, etc), learn russian and lots of other things. If you get chosen, you may or may not go to mars first, but you will be an astronaut after all and possibly go later into the future. If you don't get chosen they still hire you in NASA, but you will be doing other things instead of going to space.
Overall, study hard, train hard, keep yourself motivated and move to the USA as soon as you can, since they also have into account how much time you've been in the country.
Sam Coscia Where are you from?
It’s not her fault that she was given this opportunity. It is unfair to say she shouldn’t go after her dreams just because there are other people can’t. That’s just selfish.
She has a 0.0001% chance to go to Mars but at least she is on BBC that a success already.
herself and her parents are quite optimistic about this despite the fact it won't happen
NASA is searching for people exactly like her who know it could be a 1 way trip.
If she (and specially NASA) doesn't back out in the next 15 to 25 years she could very well have better chances than most to be part of that manned mission.
Nothing would happen to her. Here we are Indians scientists and Switzerland mathematicians in NASA will take her safely to Mars and again to Earth.
Haha she been on a video game for 9 years
I don't like her
"It will help me look unique compared to other people" thats her reason?!?!
"Just be a kid sometimes" as if she was what...
Bruno Ramírez she talked about her resume btw
She’s basically bragging every body gets a chance to be unique
9 years?! So basically, she already got her life planned out for her, where's the adventure in that? I hope it doesn't come to a point that she'll feel bad about her life. Some people got great dreams and achieved their dreams early on turn out to feel empty in their adult life.
Why mars? Is she not happy living on earth? why can't she study on how to treat the Ebola patients? there are many things that she is needed for on earth. Her dream to go to Mars is just a waste of resources. Please help this world to be a better place for all humanity. Thanks
99.9999999999% of the human population don't need to study on how to treat Ebola.
ebola is american made by the way and america has the cure. Ebola was created for international population control. also ISIS was cia made.
TheEgyptianOne
Very informative and very abreast of you, but you digress don't you?
Eek D'cat how am i digressing? i just stated a simple known fact. There are also cure for cancer but western governments don't want to release cures to the public because the west has a capitalist ideology which also means that if cures were to be given to the public, the cancer treatment centers(which is a multi billion industry if not trillion) would lose all their money. its all business related which is kinda sick.That's why capitalism is so flawed and it keeps us from evolving and advancing.
TheEgyptianOne
MOTHER FUCKING SHE COULD GET INTO MARKETING OR SOMETHING [you know like 'paper or plastic' or some shit like that?]. Don't you want to be the first one to andromeda (even though we'll meet in 4 billion years) we could send you on a one way trip off the galactic plain by the solar winds? What you end up doing in several weeks is your concern. HOW ABOUT PERFECTING SHIT A LITTLE like space travel and space/gravity/acceleration/solar winds/radiation/space debris from comets and asteroids.. worthiness before we so boldly embark on being big shit pioneers. This girl is just a pawn of a space chimp. Her code name should be virgil like from shock the monkey or project x.
I will be happy when your life span increased upto 180 years when you approach Mars, but I am worry that the gene is programmed to earth but I am certain that your children in the mars will adapt the Martian genetics in a due course of evolution.
Demons by Imagine Dragons on piano. They are absolutely awesome
SHE DOESN'T KNOW what's waiting for her there, i think that a mature person with the ability to cope with loneliness is a better choice. May be the gravity in Mars can be an obstacle that children's skeletal structure can endure and adapt quickly and less dangerous compared to adults
She will be 30 by the time she goes so everything you just said is irrelevant.
She Inspires me in so many ways❤️
So I think this will be the "ONE WAY MISSION" for her because returning from MARS to EARTH is I think impossible
good luck Alyssa it will be a one way trip for the cosmonauts that go to mars
LOL I saw what you did there Joseph Stalin. Nice try, but this ASTRONAUT is well aware of her fate if she goes to Mars.
ThisIsRick why would it be a one way trip? cant the spaceship take her back to earth? and what of she couldn't come back, would she eventually die from hunger? this is just crazy.
I hate to break it to Koba but you were afraid to fly---you did it once and never again...
They're going to send more ships in the 2020's , duh!
NASA has to build them first, Adam.
i also want to go on mars i m also 13 i m watching this dream since when i was 7 yrs old
esticazzi?
I wish you luck 👍
I feel bad for her dad cause her dad might not ever see her again
I would do anything anything or go to Mars or Space in general. I want to go to space camp so bad but my parents don’t have 1k laying around. She’s lucky she has connections I’m the 1st generation in my family in another country but i will do my absolute best to peruse my dream in becoming an astronaut.
Ohh that's cool i am training to be an astronaut
No chance!
Take a Bow ALYSSA🙏😍😍👌 Congratulations in an Advance
how come she gets special training when other kids who share the same dream as her dont have it.
Cause her dad works for nasa
Money...
Still doesn't give her the right to be the first on mars no matter the reason.
I've wanted this so bad. I want to be the first person on Mars so bad.
Your 9?
one lonely girl ok
if there are two they will fight
human nature will fight each other ,no matter what
Hi Aly ur first human on MARS.I knew ur great aim on ur little age. 😘
I want to go to the mook or at least space but *not mars* because it's a one way trip
My reason why i want to go to the mars
"I want to prove everything about mars"
Yeah!
From the time I was 11, I have wanted to build spaceships, because that is what will shape mankind's future. Way to go Alyssa, I am with you.
I am 13 years old i am Indian i was go to Mars as a first woman
Can we just appreciate her accomplishments and ambition solely. Because at the end of the day, she's still who she is "a bright young lady".
The relentless promotion of this girl is absurd..really annoying--isn't there are real news for the media to report on?
+virgil starkwell feminism
I feel like this girl is really spoiled
btw it takes about 6 months to 8 months to get to Mars and another 6 months to settle around earth then 6 to 8 months to get back
she isn't spoiled
If NASA help me.i have to go with he mars.
What would be the benefit of someone going to a planet and not coming back? why even go to a planet with very slow spaceships that would take decades to arrive? Why not wait until we are able to have faster ships and better technologies? I think we should be a little patient until we are more advanced in technology in general. We are still in the first stages of technology believe it or not. We have a long way to go in order for us to have a decent technological prowess
I’m an engineer at WPI and I play piano too! My ultimate goal would be to build a real life fully functional X Wing fighter from Star Wars!
😂
My dream is going to mars but
I am live in syria💔
*_BoBoiBoy has entered to the group_*
This means she'll be my crewmate...I'm so sure I'm going to Mars one day!
It is my dream too to be part of NASA (have trainings) ever since I was in gradrschool and be sent to Mars 😊
i also want to go on mars i m also 13 i m watching this dream since when i was 7 yrs old
first girl to die in mars yep.
Super evolved cockroaches live in mars
xD If Mars would exist as a landing-able planet, she could be. Otherwise it's just another lie on NASA's countless list of lies.
It might very well work out for you girl! Never give up your ambitions. You are young enough to succeed one day if your health and situation stay in line with your goals! Go for it!
I also prey to God for your success.
NASA pick me
If you wanna do something special, work to cure cancer or something. What could going to Mars do for humanity?
Sometimes being a kid means having unstructured time. This is how you learn to structure your own time. Over-involved parents are a pain.
the people hating I know you couldn't tell the future but look where she is now
Is it just me or it that boy in that class just can't take his eyes off her.
Alyssa bless you baby, I wish you good luck & a happy flight to mars.
So... who is footing the bill and what makes her worthy out of the many eligible people in the world?
May God help u on mars dear asyssa Carson so much love for u Pakistan ❤❤❤
Is this is her dream ?. or her dad's ... does she will be happy in her life ?
Rooting for this kid she's awesome
You guys are just jealous because she has a strong possible chance to accomplish her dreams leave her be you monsters.
reminds me of that astronaut that drove a long way to confront the others in her triangle....
When last time a second always dance and laughing all time.and feel the unvierse and hold them.energy creat and spread.feel
She will not get to mars aa she is overconfident because I want to become the first person to walk on mars
I am ready to give company to that girl in mars I am 13 too
I m going in depression when hear is not come back on Earth please don't to this
This is indoctrination... child endangerment!
I must be bless for her God we be protecting her but how she live alone there out of country
Watching 2023 will come to 2030 at time of launching to wish
Wrong!. people who dosent have a life, family or anything can make it and dont come back. she will not survive there alone. no way.
A computer nerd or people like me can go. computer guy, welder, piper fitting,constructor, electrition, amatour astronomy ,happy too live in isolation, Can speak 4 language and have good health. Im ready ! let me go.
One way ticket no coming back
TheEgyptianOne Agree with you.! But my willing to go is because i dont have life here, i dont like humans., i would die happy on mars
I am only 10 and I have dreamed about the red plannet
You 17 now?
Is it just me or you also thought of Logan Movie when you saw her?
She might not cause there's gonna be a team so maybe that guy will beat her to the door
does this girl realize if she goes to mars she wont be coming back.
So um if she does I will be the first to go to Mars and go back to earth
BBS obviously doesn't want you to know where they got this song so I'll tell you instead. It's Daft Punk - Contact. A lovely tune with deep, mysterious mood.
Stop thinking about Mars. Focus on our own Earth.
Best Of Luck Alyssa Carson.
I'm not sure she will be the first one to land on Mars because by the time she's old enough, someone else would get their first. Theirs a group of men who is training for spacex already so yeah...
But keep trying.
all these people who are ok with never comming back are in a state of mind on earths gravity, in earths air. with all its beautiful smells and feelings. You'd have to give up everything you love about earth. your hands and feet will never touch an environment again. imagine never swimming in the sun or walking outside again!!!
Lies, we didn't even discuss going to mars then
I wanna be the first one on mars 😭😭
I wanna go to a bts concert first
I some how back in 2017 got a chance to go to cubes in space but my parents called it fake and didn't send me the didng have enough money also and further any thing any chance is considered as a fake tag even if it's real i don't know what to do
And I will stop you to get to mars I am coming
I along with countless people have dreamed of going, just because some girls parents send to to all kinds of fancy does not mean she will get to go. Also bragging about the expensive school you go to won't get you any closer.
You are tuly role model in next genaration.
shes been training for nines years
Good luck. ❤ from India
