Both? The games and series have sections with spores suspended in still, dry air. Also transmitted via droplets in bites and sneezes, a la Sporothrix brasiliensis.

If you're in NYC this week for the #tribecafilmfestival, there are two more festival screenings, and two additional screenings at the Patagonia store and the Brooklyn aquarium. Come meet the team! thelastdivefilm.com/showings

I would like to retract my previous statement. Aisha Bowe very kindly corrected me: she's been doing lots of very public work for Club for the Future. See one of her Insta reels here: www.instagram.com/reel/DHwSM7V...

faculty and universities need to hammer home the point that these are not “subsidies” but

- competitive contracts

- awarded through an extremely competitive, well vetted process

- subject to a host of legal conditions that benefit American taxpayers

I didn't say it was a gotcha. I think it's an interesting study. However, you might want to quit trauma gatekeeping and telling people they didn't witness something they absolutely did.

I was 4. That's why I wasn't in school. Again, my family and friends watched it in class. I'm really not sure what your point is here.

Aisha Bowe has an MS in space systems engineering and worked for NASA. Amanda interned. They've both done amazing things and deserve to be celebrated. They also can be criticized for their affiliations: Katy Perry supported a known sexual predator, and it's hard to square that with Amanda's work.

Gayle King is black. While I appreciate the redirect, she is very much not a white woman.

The worst thing to me is that Blue has a STEM outreach foundation that focuses on young women and people of color and has partnered with previous orgs started by women who have flown. Not a single person on that flight mentioned it. Really calls into question how much inspiring they were doing.

And some of us overlapped and had to deal with the increase in school shootings. Our school still had bomb drills, merged into earthquake drills. My hometown tested an air-raid siren every lunch until I was out of HS. We've all seen some messed up stuff. Not sure gatekeeping trauma is helpful.

I watched it at home on C-SPAN. It's one of my earliest clear memories and shaped my early career. I grew up in a rural community unconnected with NASA and kids talked about it for years afterwards. Suggesting this is a false memory because you didn't have the experience is perhaps an overstep.

You should take a look at this:
"Children’s Symptoms in the Wake of Challenger: A Field Study of Distant-Traumatic Effects and an Outline of Related Conditions"

For someone who lives in SoCal, they don't seem to know many aerospace folks. I wasn't in school yet, but Challenger is one of my earliest memories. Watched it at home on C-SPAN w/ Mom. Formative event for older Millennials, too. A commonly listed reason for being interested in spaceflight.
