In this special edition of The Front Burner, I sit down with Dr. Yajaira Sierra Sastre. With over 20 years of R&D experience spanning academia, startups, and the U.S. federal government, Dr. Sierra has built a remarkable career as a scientist, educator, and leader. At Blue Origin, she serves as Technical Integration Lead for NASA’s Artemis Human Landing System, managing crew test assets and astronaut training systems that will help return humans to the Moon. In our conversation, we explore her inspiring career path, her work at NASA and Blue Origin, and even the unexpected connections between space exploration and hospitality. It’s a fascinating and insightful discussion you won’t want to miss.
