## Caption

Christina Koch (astro_christina) has orbited the moon, broken records, and seen Earth from farther away than almost any human in history, but her answer to where the real magic lies might surprise you. 

When she’s not exploring space, she’s chasing adventure here on Earth, rock and ice climbing, surfing, racing triathlons, and seeking out wild places. 

In this intimate post-mission interview, she reflects on the grit, wonder, and perspective gained in space, and why the sounds, smells, and simple beauty of Earth still remain deeply awe-inspiring to her.

Tap the link in our bio for a Q&A with Koch about Artemis II and the outdoors on Earth.
