🚀 Exciting News Alert! 🌌

In what might just be the coolest thing to ever happen to me, I received a personal invitation from Jeff Bezos himself, following a conversation with TED Conferences's Chris Anderson about the incredible work we're doing at Bridge the Gap. The invite? To test the accessibility for disabled individuals on none other than a suborbital rocket - BLUE ORIGIN's New Shepard!

Yes, you read that right. My good friend Björn and I are being given the opportunity to participate in one of the next launches. 🌍➡️🚀 This isn't just a giant leap for accessibility; it's a quantum leap for inclusive space exploration!

Our journey with Bridge the Gap, advocating for tech and design solutions that foster inclusion and accessibility, has always aimed sky-high, but this is literally out of this world. We've tackled challenges on the ground, and now, we might just be taking them to space.

The prospect of contributing to making space travel accessible is a dream that's too good not to share. Stay tuned for more updates as we embark on this star-studded adventure!
