I eventually found out that he'd been a stagehand for a short while, but until yesterday, when ancestry.com emailed @chialynn.bsky.social these photos, I never knew that my father had once performed as Jim O'Connor (The Gentleman Caller) in a production of Tennessee Williams's "The Glass Menagerie."

My father (pictured far right) would've been 82 yesterday. His mother had been an actress from a line of famous Vaudeville performers, and I of course entered the world of the Theatre at the age of 7 without knowing any of this.

This is one of my favorite and meaningful memories of this mission. Analog astronaut Karim Garad of the Egyptian Space Agency helps me suit up for my first ever EVA. This is what it's about. Exploring together. Achieving together for a future world without borders.

Update! Dreams do come true! I've just received my first analog astronaut assignment. I'll be deploying as Communications Officer to the Mars Analog Research Station in Armash, Armenia from October 10–26, 2025, as part of a 6-member crew conducting critical research for future Mars exploration.
