While this wasn’t on my radar, it was a great surprise. I got
in line early. About 10 women lined up in front of me who were very excited to
see female NASA guests. The ladies in front of me were either teachers or
scientists themselves.
As they stepped to the autograph table, the fans grinned
with pride as they chatted with the 2 women.
Both Heather and Catherine seemed just as excited to meet these ladies.
When it was my turn, the first thing I noticed was the pink
streak in Heather’s hair. I asked if she caught any crap for that. She smiled
and said ‘no’. People actually liked she was willing to show some personality. Catherine was more reserved although she
smiled and answered any questions.
I got my photos and left the table very happy.
Later that day, the wife and I had dinner with some
family. I was surprised by the excitement
over these autographs. I had
not realized how important these women were as role models. It seems that maybe people just aren’t aware of
what really is possible. Not because something hasn’t been done, but people aren’t
aware of what had been accomplished.
