Gitika Gorthi talks about space medicine and igniting future generations to pursue careers in space. She is the Founder and CEO of IgnitedThinkers and is currently a junior at Chantilly High School in Virginia, USA. Gitika developed IgnitedThinkers, a non-profit organization to spread space education to students across the world regardless of their age, gender-identification, ethnicity, and economic status, in 8th grade and has ever since then worked to spread space to all.   
Gitika conducts free webinars, workshops, space champion interviews on the IgnitedThinkers youtube channel, collaborates with other space organizations, and is working to incorporate space into school curriculums. Gitika hopes to go into space medicine and become a space doctor in the future helping advance human spaceflight, as well as help, find cures to many diseases/conditions here on Earth and ones developed in space. As a student, entrepreneur, and space enthusiast, Gitika hopes to inspire future generations to follow their space dreams, because the space industry has space for all.
