A Brazilian social media star is facing backlash from NASA after she claimed she was selected as a future astronaut for private missions to the Moon and Mars. NASA jacket-wearing content creator Laysa Peixoto revealed that she was “going to space” as she stood inside a Manhattan skyscraper with the Empire State Building behind her on June 5. “I was selected to become a career astronaut, performing on manned spaceflights for private space stations, and future manned missions to the Moon and Mars,” she claimed on Instagram.
