Free To Fly

We thought today we’d share with you a story of a local company launching itself into space. We have Julie Bonner, the Director of Communications for FreeFall Aerospace, not just because of what they do, but where they came from.

This is a effort that started at the University of Arizona and through its Tech Launch Program, got into the mainstream and we found out there’s a lot of things happening in that space realm, and Tucson has a place in space. We thought we’d find out all about that with Julie Bonner.
