About #AimHigher

The Apollo missions, the first Moon landing that inspired a generation. It spurred on innovation and ignited a spark in kids to aim high for their dreams. Those kids of yesterday turned into adults who are changing the world today. We want to light the spark in today\u2019s generation to empower them to be the ones to change the world tomorrow. We\u2019ll encourage them to aim higher for their dreams than ever before.

Through this giant inspirational and representative Artemis themed Earthwork created by artist Stan Herd, we will honor and recognize African American astronaut Stephanie Wilson who is not only a pioneer but also in the current NASA Artemis group.\xa0

She could be the first woman to set foot on the Moon.\xa0
