I talk, write, read, etc about space. And then I chat about writing, reading, travel, and life in Chicago.
Founded Cosmic Chicago in 2015.

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. 🚀

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.

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.
