NASA's Firm Stance on 'Glamorous' Astronaut's Space Plans

Laysa Peixoto, a young woman from Brazil, claimed she was selected as a NASA astronaut and to fly missions to the Moon and Mars, but NASA clarified she is not an employee or astronaut candidate and was involved only in a student workshop. Peixoto's claims about her education and astronaut status are disputed, and she is not on Titans Space's official astronaut list for their 2029 mission.
