I’m getting pretty sick of people blaming the players instead of management. The bad choices all year were not theirs.

If you are part of an academic society or a professor of any kind, public statements that you do not condone Drexel cutting off the academy of natural sciences from the public of Philadelphia is very important right now. We need your voices. Urgently.

She’s right. That was a great read, very entertaining and I still have a few questions. I want a nice, clear look at a streetlight, for example.

Lots of people stay safely on Earth and work on or with space topics, you don’t have to actually be launched into space.

And, as another option, my nieces both graduated as aerospace engineers. Here’s one of them addressing the astronauts before they boarded the recent SpaceX launch, literally yesterday:

130

But maybe doesn’t see the other options that exist. (I also realized that most of the kids in the aero program had parent issues and wanted to get as far away as possible - and decided I needed to work on some stuff).

120

Changed majors, got a lot happier as a result. What doesn’t often get explained, especially to kids, is that you can love space, be utterly fascinated with it, and yet not have to GO to space. As kids, we just get told about being an astronaut. I think your kid recognizes the dangers…

It showed such awareness and understanding of humanity that it really struck a chord with me, that art IS important, and living in an environment that is safe for you is not an unreasonable request. I got his signature, but I sure didn’t ask him to put the “stick with it” on there.

120

He explained looking out the viewport at the Earth, seeing all the air, and water, land, everyone he ever knew or would ever know, everyone he loves, everyone he would ever meet, the food he needs, music, art, everything was over there. And he was here, in this tin can.

That guest speaker was Yuri Gagarin, first man to orbit the Earth. His talk was fascinating, and gave an account of what being in that ship was like. I went in hoping to have him sign a poster to say “stick with it!” and continue the courses for aero. But his talk!

120

But at some point in the second year, we had a guest speaker come and give a talk. At this point I was slowly getting interested in music & technology, but hadn’t changed majors yet. I was just slowly realizing that I thought the math was boring and I wanted to do something more fun.

I started off in college majoring in aerospace engineering - competitive overachiever college, and the first day our advisor gave us one of those “only 1 out of 6 students graduate with the degree in aerospace, so look around and see if you think it’s going to be you” talks.

Hey, @pazsays.bsky.social , is kid still worried about space launch disasters? Since reading LIGHT FROM OTHER STARS that kept popping into my head. I have a thread I was intending on writing up for you if so - but didn’t want to overwhelm you with posts.

No specific app recs, but we had a calculator that ran math drills and both kids would just tinker with it. A Sharp WriteView EL-W535X. Other ideas are to look for more applied math (visuals/things) to help, some kids get it quicker when they see what it’s used for.

We had a cardboard box of rocks that would send a Geiger counter into a heart attack. We had a Geiger counter, too, my father was a nuclear engineer. I mean, I guess that’s how he got the rocks? We kept it in the basement, you know, where we put in a family den and stayed most of the time.

I’m currently reading @erikaswyler.bsky.social ‘s LIGHT FROM OTHER STARS, and her capacity to deeply humanize her characters is amazing. Also, I’m learning more craziness about my childhood. In that timeframe, we did not treat radioactive materials with anything resembling safety…
