Co/Create Details
CREATIVE PROMPT
Marcus Rhoder, an engineer on the International Space Station (ISS) under Captain Alma Cooke, stands out for more than just his technical prowess as an engineer. Beyond his primary duties aboard the ISS, Marcus has seamlessly blended his astronaut role with that of a Youtube educator, amassing millions of subscribers to his channel. With his videos, he deciphers complex space phenomena, making it accessible and engaging for his wide audience back on Earth. Marcus is Alma’s favorite crew member, not only due to her deep respect for his engineering expertise and ability to juggle his YouTube educator side gig along with his strenuous day job, but also for his upbeat and positive attitude in such a closely-confined, high-stress environment.
