Another spacediver is born! When you meet a member of the Red Bull Stratos Team, it’s pretty much a given - the experience will inspire you to reach for the stars or in Erin Bonilla’s case, reach for the toggles. Erin is a NASA contractor and recently licensed skydiver. Since meeting Col. Joe Kittinger and Felix Baumgartner this last spring at the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum she is determined to ramp up her jumps. Here’s her story:

“I recently had the opportunity of meeting Felix and Col. Kittinger at the National Air & Space museum with my husband, Dennis. They were so friendly, inviting, and made me feel like I am just a part of the program as they are. It instantly reignited my motivation to go skydiving more often and to keep pushing towards my goals. I am thankful for the opportunity and look forward to seeing the team make history.”
