The AstroDoc · Blue Origin NS-32 · First Woman Physician Commercial Astronaut
"Most advisors evaluate your product. Gretchen translates it — from the science to the clinician, from the clinician to the patient, and from the patient back to the boardroom."
— The full-circle translationDr. Gretchen Green is a diagnostic radiologist specializing in women's imaging, a commercial astronaut, board leader, entrepreneur, and historian of medicine. Every step of her career — from reading breast imaging films and handling 200 malpractice cases to founding a physician education company and flying to the edge of space — has been building toward a singular capability: the ability to see healthcare systems whole.
Drawing on a century of patient advocacy history, 20+ years of clinical practice, and firsthand spaceflight, she brings the integrated view that companies building things that matter need before they scale.
Through humor, vulnerability, and powerful storytelling, Dr. Green connects the science of space and medicine to the courage required to pursue what matters most — and to raise your hand before you feel ready.
"Honest, inspiring, and passionate. Your experiences and advice were incredibly meaningful to our members and the student body — this event will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact."
— Conference Organizer"The feedback we received from attendees has been extraordinary. Many shared how critical this conversation was, not just for the space industry, but for the future of humanity itself."
