She’s a better person than I am. Or at least very much more accomplished than I’ll ever be.

I hope she gets to go into space and something really cool happens, like “Stargate” or something.

Well that’s good.
I remember Sally Ride came out shortly before her death.

Go her!! Took my daughter to the NASA Space Center in Huntsville, AL this summer. She got to see and hear a woman (a Space Camp alumni) in the International Space Station communicating with the people in the control center. I will definitely have to show this story to my daughter- she loves playing soccer too!!

Total stud, this young, brave, competent Marine!!

Since the recent Boeing test was a bust, I’d be surprised to see them make a 2019 manned launch.

Chuck Yeagar refused to become an astronaut. He wanted to be a pilot. This is not to denigrate the courage of astronauts in any fashion. It takes an entirely different set of skills. And women are generally smaller and lighter with better dexterity and might be better for the job.

Also, he didn’t have a college education, which had become mandatory by that time.

Good job, Marine.
And for those who were hoping that the Boeing Starliner was something like this:
No. It's this:
BEHOLD THE CHODELINER!

There’s a lesson there.

but I thought they said these were manned flights?
To: BenLurkin
Nicole Mann. Ok so I guess it will be a “Mann”ed flight. This is confusing.
