- She wishes to motivate women to pursue aerospace engineering.
Miss England plans to become the first beauty queen in space. Jessica Gagen, the freshly crowned Miss England, has set one of her most ambitious goals. While she is vying for the title of Miss World in 2023, she is also interested in other titles. One that is literally from another planet. She wants to be the first beauty queen to travel to space. Jessica is a student of aerospace engineering. Back in October, on the Miss England stage, she surprised not only the judges but also the audience when she revealed her aspirations to inspire women to seek professions in STEM and become a fully qualified astronaut herself.
Miss England is presently studying for an integrated master’s degree at the University of Liverpool, according to Metro. She intends to apply for astronaut training within the next three years. “I think me winning Miss England as well as my aerospace passion would show girls that they can follow their dreams and aspirations and be anyone they want to be. “My engineering degree has opened so many opportunities for me, and one day I intend to apply to the European Space Agency to pursue my ambition,” she explained.

“I would love to go to space one day and I’m on the right path. After my degree is complete, I would have to complete three years in the industry and then I can apply to become and astronaut,” she added. Jessica has crowned Miss Lancashire in August. This automatically gained her a place in the Miss England final. Later that year, she broke a record when she was crowned Miss England. Jessica became the first redhead to ever win a beauty pageant.
According to the official website, they are looking for women who can inspire others and serve as role models. They honour these women’s accomplishments. Jessica fits the bill well. According to the Metro, she also recently visited the National Space Centre in Leicester after passing it several times on her route to the Miss England Headquarters. Jessica Gagen took advantage of the opportunity to learn more about space. She aspires to inspire the next generation of female engineers to pursue careers in the male-dominated sector of engineering.
