    Christina Koch’s smile reminds me of Kate Winslet’s

    As divided as our nation is right now its good to know that we still all agree that astronauts are still the OG definition of bada$$

    What that lady said was so profound that it should be taught in school or something.

    Meeting an ‘astronaut’ is an honor. I met Mercury Astronaut Capt Malcolm Scott Carpenter, USN, at work in The MET Museum years ago. [H]e was impressed anyone would recognize him, and he saluted me. Awesome!

    This was unexpectedly emotional. I can only imagine how people felt in the 60s when it was about to happen for the first time. These astronauts are inspiring.

    The overview effect really only affects people who don’t have a firm grasp on how insignificant they really are. Astronauts aren’t necessarily smart. Degrees are passed out like candy.

    The way she explained we’re more alike than we are different really made me rethink about our place in the cosmos
