The mural commemorates 200 years of diplomatic relations between Mexico and the United States and celebrates the two countries, as well as the achievement of the Mexican-American engineer.
Katya Echazarreta’s first childhood memories are of Tijuana. Now, the 27-year-old, who in 2022 became the first Mexican woman to travel to space, gets to add another memory of this city: a mural featuring her historical achievement.
Echazarreta, who has worked on five NASA missions, was chosen by the Space for Humanity organization among 7,000 applicants from 100 countries to be part of the crew of Blue Origin’s New Shepard NS-21 Mission to space in June. The new mural celebrates the bicentennial of diplomatic relations between Mexico and the U.S., as well as featuring Katya Echazarreta, the first Mexican woman to travel to space.
“This mural depicts the deep, rich and extensive ties between our two great countries. We are partners and neighbors. Strengthened by common values, strong business connections and shared cultural ties,” said Tom Reott, U.S. consul general in Tijuana. The mayor of Tijuana, Montserrat Caballero, celebrated the presence of Echazarreta at the ceremony. Her name, she said, “will remain in the hearts of all Mexicans and above all as part of the history of the United States and Mexico.
