![‘The Cover
A historic moment: man’s first landing on the moon. The lunar rocket ship is about to touch down; its motors are being turned off, and the shock-absorbing central landing leg, visible inside the rocket flames, is just above the moon’s surface...[ALT]'
This view, with the distant earth in the background, was painted by artist Chesley Bonestell from the perspective of a man standing on the lunar north pole. Full a full description of the ship and the trip, turn to page 51.

Find yourself the kind of life where you wake up in the morning and ask yourself, "do I really get to do this?!" In my case, "this" refers to building an entire research astronautics program (!!).

btw this isn't a dig at her credentials. This is a dig at anyone who believes that what Bezos is doing counts as astronautics. Astronauts are scientists furthering our knowledge on countless of subjects; this is a mockery that feeds the popular belief that they serve no purpose
