When you get a chance to interview a future Martian, you jump at the chance. At Uproxx, we won a branded content assignment to create a video piece for NatGeo with Alyssa Carson, a 15-year-old future astronaut who's been plotting her trip to Mars for the last 10 years. I got a chance to interview the teenager whose sole mission is to one day make it to Mars.
