ALLYSON MORUA is a former NASA mission operations engineer with twelve years of experience in spacecraft life support system design and deep space mission planning. She served as the lead ECLSS integration engineer for the Artemis lunar station program and later as a systems safety specialist for the agency's deep space transit studies, where she developed failure mode analyses for ten-year-plus crewed missions to outer planetary destinations. Her work has appeared in the *Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets*, *Acta Astronautica*, and multiple NASA technical memoranda on closed-loop environmental control and crew survivability. Morua holds a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology with a concentration in human spaceflight systems, and a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Colorado Boulder. She has completed the National Outdoor Leadership School's wilderness medicine and expedition planning programs, and served as a volunteer instructor for the Space Generation Advisory Council's emergency preparedness workshops. She lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where she consults on life support architecture for commercial space station developers and writes extensively about the human factors challenges of long-duration spaceflight. *The Last Human Starship Survival Handbook* is her first book.
