Katherine Johnson (1918-2020), was a brilliant mathematician who worked at NASA for 33 years.
She was a key figure in the success of the first and subsequent US spaceflights.
Her calculations were essential to the Apollo 11 mission, which landed the first humans on the moon.

SpaceX denied my request to release how many millions of dollars Jared Isaacman paid for spaceflights. Now, the Senate has confirmed him as NASA Administrator. This is a reckless move that completely ignores his deep financial ties to Elon Musk.

In order to go to space today, it takes years of training… just for a minutes-long suborbital sojourn.
Astronauts train their entire lives… and burn out after a handful of spaceflights (the record number of spaceflights for one person: seven).
Millions of people going to space is INSANE.
