Being comfortable enough to say “I don’t know, teach me” is a life hack. It relieves me of the pressure to know it all. Even if someone is condescending to me, I’m like w.e. - as long as I’m learning I’m winning. Your need to feel like you’re better than me is a personal problem.

Finally ready for cathode testing this semester. Got the mock anode constructed, repairs completed, and it’s all ready to be wired up. Fingers crossed for smooth sailing, lots of learning, and pretty blue light 😍💙🚀! (Old pic)

Just found out I got an A in the one subject area I failed and had to retake in undergrad.. advanced aerodynamics. Despite earning an A the second time i took it, I was scared to take the grad level course. Lol You thought you had me girl. Can’t beat a person who won’t quit 🤪

Unpopular opinion: I wish we would leave colonization on Earth. I hate that we look at Mars as something else to OWN. Space should humble you. It’s not for colonization. Not another place we can go spray the “Humans Waz Here” tag on and leave it shambles like we’re leaving Earth

@OrangePaulp I aspire to this level of calm “let me get you together right quick” attitude. She snatched her life up without changing her facial expression. Royalty.
