Bday card I made for cousin(I already gave it to him=>)

I chose wrong colors for Young’s, Deke’s and Gus’s suits but I didn’t remake it because it was already 4 am

The Apollo 1 tragedy isn’t talked about nearly as much as it should be. I didn’t know that Apollo 1 was even a crewed mission until I started actually researching NASA space exploration, and I think that’s a problem. And it’s not like I wasn’t in circles of people who were interested in space, cuz I was! The men of the Apollo 1 mission are often forgotten or overlooked, but I think that should change. (Like most NASA missions that end in death) This tragedy could have been prevented, and was the result of poor safety procedures and I don’t think we should just look past it, I think we should have more conversations about the Apollo 1 mission.

We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too.

-John F. Kennedy

Women in STEM History - Judith Love Cohen

Sometimes you read about a person and then immediately have make a post about it. This is one of those times.

Judith Love Cohen (August 16, 1933 – July 25, 2016) was an American aerospace engineer and author who worked on the Apollo Space Program at the height of her engineering career. In particular she worked on the Abort-Guidance System that saved the lives of the astronauts on the Apollo 13 mission. After retiring as an engineer, she started a publishing company called Cascade Pass in order to publish educational books encouraging children and girls specifically into STEM fields of work. Many of these books she authored herself.

Now I would not normally mention my subject’s personal life at all, because that’s not what this series is about. In this case I will make an exception because there’s a particularly good anecdote as follows.

On the day of the birth of her fourth child, she went to the office in the morning (for the Apollo Space Program) to do a little more work. When it was time to go to the hospital, she took with her a computer printout of the problem she was working on. Later that day, she called her boss and told him that she had solved the problem. And . . . oh, yes, the baby was born, too.

The baby that was born that day? Jack Black… yes that Jack Black. One can only assume much of his excellence comes from his brilliant mother.
