Why “First Astronaut”?
When I was was a kid, I always wanted to be an astronaut - it was my dream. That dream was put to bed due to terrible eyesight and a lack of mathematical aptitude.
The dream lives on in First Astronaut Studios - where, like the first astronauts, we thrive on collaboration, calculation, and pushing the limits to get desired results.
