I'm not saying I have a personal stake in this, but I did drop a 20 in the "is a planet" box at Lowell Observatory (where they found Pluto).

Never had a SAR request, though I have had a phone call asking for a guy named Sal, and up in Vermont, I did go on a mission to retrieve sap. Oh, and I once kept around a spray bottle labelled "SARS". So, you know, close enough.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee
