A week ago 3 girls from Antigua and Barbuda rowed a 2800-mile stretch from California to the Hawaii Island of Kauai in 42 days. Next week you will find two Antigua girls in space. There are no limits for the Island Nation of Antigua and Barbuda and the women in that country that simply love adventure to the extreme.
With two of its own, the twin-island Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda is over the moon, and excitedly gearing up for one of their greatest adventures in history as Keisha Schahaff and her daughter Anastasia Mayers embark on a space travel journey, that will see them become Antigua and Barbuda’s first astronauts, and the first Caribbean mother-daughter duo to go to space.
Antigua and Barbuda’s Schahaff who is forty-six years, and her eighteen-year-old daughter will on August 10, 2023, board the Galactic 02 spaceflight from Spaceport America, New Mexico, marking Virgin Galactic’s first private astronaut spaceflight, and second commercial spaceflight.
