Astronaut, NC State grad Christina Koch named to Time 100 Most Influential List
Astronaut Christina Koch, who graduated from North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics in Durham and NC State, was named to the Time 100 Most Influential People list.
“Let’s face it — Christina didn’t need us to succeed. So we just feel lucky to be part of that,” said Dr. Stephen Reynolds, a professor of physics who served as Koch’s academic advisor at NC State.
Koch made history by taking part in the first all-female spacewalk and setting a record for longest single spaceflight by a woman.
