In celebration of Earth Day, the No Limits Radio Show welcomed Shannon Bonomi, Physics Instructor at A-B Tech, for a wide‑ranging conversation about space science, Earth stewardship, and the power of community college education. This Earth Day broadcast spotlighted a remarkable achievement: an experiment designed by A-B Tech physics students has been selected for launch into space through the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP). The project places A-B Tech students alongside peers from research universities and international institutions, proving that groundbreaking scientific inquiry can begin right here in Western North Carolina. Shannon shared her role in the Physics Department and her personal journey into science, emphasizing her passion for making physics approachable, relevant, and empowering for all students. She also shared how the student team developed their research question, the importance of conducting experiments in microgravity, and the scientific and personal skills students gained through the process. The episode also reflected on the origins of Earth Day, its evolution over the past 50+ years, and what it means today for students, educators, and communities working toward a more sustainable future.
