Catherine Coleman

That's so great.

Cady Coleman and I were there with Sian.

Oh, great.

Great.

It's problematic.

Well, I think a great example to talk about this proximity is to talk about Cady Coleman and Paolo Nespoli.

Oh, Cady Coleman and Paolo Nespoli.

Okay, tell me about these two.

My favorite astronauts.

And the, and the men and women that I got to work with and, and their backgrounds, I would sit with people from all walks of life who had a particular gift of wanting to be an astronaut, who had PhDs and Master's degrees, skilled way beyond my understanding of engineering, that were being selected to go fly into space.

And I sat one night with Cady Coleman, and she was a brand-new astronaut.

We were fixing to talk to a group of 100 people at a man flight awareness dinner, and we were gonna watch a space shuttle launch the next day.

And I sat there somewhat kind of uneasy with this young lady that had excelled so well in her academic career and been selected, which is a very competitive process, to be an astronaut.

And what do you think she would have thought of today's ceremony? You know, you've got an astronaut, Eileen Collins, speaking about her.

I saw- spotted another astronaut, Cady Coleman-

Yeah
