I know Suni, she was a Navy H-46 helicopter pilot who graduated from the Naval Academy with one of my best friends and went to Developmental Test Pilot School in Patuxent River: John adores her.

We are all happy for her.

Billiam, you are correct. Perhaps if you were motivated to change

Probably right. I did not read the piece carefully enough, second read yea much ambiguity.

Very accomplished and an inspiration to all of our young people.

Thanks, Paul.

And for erasing all the negative postings here. I'll never understand it myself - but thank you....

Been traveling today, so I missed some things.

I ran the Navy's NASA board for pilots and mission specialists...the talent level would make you question your worth!

I was just the organizer, but I worked all the details with the astronaut board members.

Great stuff.

That sounds like a subject worth it's own thread. At least, it sounds pretty awesome to me.

I think “the best of us” is probably an understatement. I’ve always been captivated by space, unfortunately my career has trended towards vehicles that don’t exit our atmosphere.
