Kelli Klymenko will get closer to space than most people on Sunday, March 16.

Klymenko was selected by NASA as one of its official social media representatives during the launch of the SpaceX — Space Exploration Technologies — resupply mission to the International Space Station. Klymenko will be given full press credentials alongside traditional media representatives and be given access to things that, according to Klymenko, some NASA employees never get to do.

“The reaction I first had — I read the email — was disbelief. I thought it was a follow-up, just to ask for more info, but I called NASA and they knew who I was, my name was on their list,” Klymenko said.
