*Glo Orbit | Behind the Build: The Story of Gwynne Shotwell* SpaceX just went public. You’ve heard of Elon. Now meet the woman who actually built it. Gwynne Shotwell is President and COO of SpaceX, and she’s been shaping the company from the inside for over 25 years. She joined as employee #7, long before SpaceX was a household name, a billion-dollar valuation, or a launch provider for NASA and the world. She’s not a founder. She’s not the loudest name in the room. But she’s the one running day-to-day operations, closing deals, and turning Elon’s vision into rockets that actually fly. Under her leadership, SpaceX went from near-bankruptcy in 2008 to launching Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, Crew Dragon, and Starlink. Gwynne’s story matters because it redefines what leadership looks like. You don’t need to be the face of the brand to build the brand. You don’t need to follow a traditional path to change an industry. Behind every headline is someone doing the work long before anyone is paying attention. For SpaceX, that someone is Gwynne Shotwell. _Courtesy of Glo Orbit_ #GloOrbit #GwynneShotwell #SpaceX #WomenInSTEM #WomenInSpace #Leadership #BehindTheScenes #SpaceIndustry #FemaleLeaders #STEM

Our GloQueen this Tuesday is Christina Koch, a trailblazing NASA astronaut on a mission to make history! 🚀 Born on January 29, 1979, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Christina's passion for space exploration was sparked early. She fueled her dreams with a dual degree in Electrical Engineering and Physics, plus a Master's in Electrical Engineering from North Carolina State University 🌟. As part of the Artemis II mission, Christina's about to become the FIRST WOMAN to travel to the Moon! 🌕 Orbiting the Moon alongside astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Jeremy Hansen, she's breaking barriers and paving the way for future women in space. This 10-day mission will take them farther than any human has gone since the Apollo era, and Christina's leadership will prove the way for future women in space exploration. A record-breaker in her own right, Christina holds the distinction of longest single spaceflight by a woman (328 days) and participated in the first all-female spacewalk alongside Jessica Meir 🙌. "Dreams are within reach, and the universe is full of possibilities" 🌌. Let's celebrate Christina's groundbreaking achievement and empower women to reach for the stars! #GloMedia #GloQueen #WomenInSTEM #LunarMission #ArtemisII
