So, there's someone who I'm reluctant to identify, but who has a lot of mutual friends with me. She dug herself out of "the mud", as she put it, of small-town Washington state, then wrestled ADHD to the mat to get through college, then got a Ph.D.
And now? You know those scientists in the movies who save the earth from asteroids? She's the real thing. You've no idea how much I admire her; what's in this entry isn't the half of it.
Why am I posting about her now? Well, we've kept in touch, even though she's long since moved far away. She's involved in NASA's DART mission that just launched last night. She sent me the link to the live video, and we both watched it.
Mazel tov, Dr. Wyvern. You've earned it.
