I was so excited when I saw your name on the list!

I see a rocket going vertical on the launchpad, ignition, liftoff, and rocket plumes all reflected in the Turning Basin at KSC in this Kandinsky. 🚀

Going to grab myself some to smack on all my work things because, well, IYKYK. 😒

Omg, your library is going to make me cry. 😭

Also, I used to borrow a learn Russian cassette tape set from my library when I was in HS so I could understand what was being said during missions. I only just started trying to study the language again a few years ago to help me in my coverage.

Definitely adding it to my list!

Ever since visiting Hemphill, TX I listen to Running to the Light (1 of Laurel’s wake up songs) on the anniv of the Columbia disaster. I remember hearing the song afterwards & thinking she’s okay. 🔉 youtu.be/8SCjBzS4bR8?...

Oh, I’ll probably talk a lot about my creative endeavors too. I love memory keeping and journaling, drawing/painting etc and often look for ways to share all of that within my communities (in person and virtually).

I read a lot. A lot a lot. A lot about space, but about tons of other stuff too. Nonfiction is my jam though. After I finish a book I like to do something fun (and related) to celebrate.

My current read ⬇️

I’m from Chicago and after a lot of travel I’m back. Chicago will forever be my favorite city in the world!

I enjoy exploring my town and getting involved so you’re likely to hear about the city and what’s happening from me too.

Hola y’all! I’m Sophie.

Writing about space has been my sole gig for ten years now. Before that I developed STEM programming & consulted for edu orgs & space brands.

My life pretty much revolves around space so that’s what I plan on chatting about on here for the most part.
