Between work, professional development, personal development, passion projects, college, dad stuff, and life’s curveballs it’s not unusual for my wife to poke her head into my office at 5:30 pm and tell me I still haven’t told her what I want for breakfast. It's also not unusual for a naysayer or two to chime in with a back-handed compliment about how my drive is hurting myself or my family. “Give yourself a break.” “Stop trying to do so much.” “You should spend more time with your family.” But some of us are just driven, and to tell us any of the above is to tell us to stop breathing. Now, I won’t be going to space anytime soon (ever), but I do have a handful of goals across various life domains that seem lofty - borderline arrogant - when listed out, yet perfectly reasonable when taken one-at-a-time. And anytime I feel myself listening to those well-meaning voices, or giving credibility to the naysayers who raise an eyebrow at the scope of my vision alone, I look at guys like Jonny Kim and remember that, big picture, there’s a good chance I’m still aiming low. It's taken me a while to come to terms with my drive. And until I did, I had to navigate both the exhaustion that comes from the actual work and the exhaustion from the guilt and shame of doing so much work. “I love you and I know you mean well, but I’m fine and will let you know when I need a break.” “Let me worry about what I should or shouldn’t want. You worry about yourself.” If you’re driven - to the point friends and family worry about you - and you want to play your own game, get comfortable with some variation of the above statements. You’ll need them if you’re ever going to live true. And that’s the real power of Jonny Kim's story: it gives ambitious people like us permission to ignore the naysayers and try. Driving yourself harder than most people can fathom is just our nature. To listen to the voices, even the well-meaning ones, dishonors that nature. It dishonors our very existence. Only by allowing ourselves to set and pursue these absurdly wide-ranging, sky-high goals without shame or apology do we honor ourselves. Only then do we live true. Have a great trip up there, Jonny.
Alumnus Jonathan "Jonny" Kim '12 (BA) is heading to space! NASA announced that Kim will serve as a flight engineer and crew member on the upcoming Expedition 72/73 mission to the International Space Station (ISS). Launching in March 2025 aboard the Roscosmos Soyuz MS-27 spacecraft, Kim will spend approximately eight months aboard the ISS, conducting crucial scientific research and technology demonstrations. This marks Kim's first mission to the ISS and makes him the second Torero to ever launch into space! Join us in congratulating Kim on this incredible achievement and wishing him well as he continues to prepare for his expedition to space. https://bit.ly/3yUQWqN 📸 NASA

The first volume of the Space Sustainability Strategy released by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration yesterday is more welcomed planning for the increasingly busy orbits around the Earth and beyond. In the document, the overarching goals of NASA are to, "maintain the conduct of space activities indefinitely into the future in a manner that is safe, peaceful, and responsible to meet the needs of the present generations while preserving the outer space environment for future activities and limiting harm to terrestrial life." Lofty goals for certain but it is imperative that the United States and the rest of the world's space powers continue to frame the problem set and cooperatively strategize accordingly. Check out the strategy here: https://lnkd.in/eh3jSdfk

Aeronautical Engineering student @ SVIT, Vasad | CIF 2019& 2020 Finalist @ GUSEC | Aspiring rocket scientist to terminate the era of rocketry.
I am happy to see Boeing getting back into the human spaceflight business after more than a decade. Though, I am quite interested to see how Starliner will stand against the Dragon (Which is about 30 to 35 million dollars less expensive for a seat equivalent i.e., Starliner's cost for a seat is equivalent to that of a Soyuz - one of the factors that made it necessary for NASA to shift for a home grown crew spacecraft after the Space Shuttles got retired.) and the overall reusability trends in the industry.
We have liftoff! The United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket, carrying Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft and NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration astronauts Butch Wilmore, commander, and Suni Williams, pilot, are on a course to the International Space Station. The crew is on a roughly 25.5-hour journey with rendezvous and docking expected at 11:15 a.m. CDT, Thursday, June 6. The crew flight test mission makes history in several ways. As the first crewed launch of Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft, Williams is the first female astronaut to fly on the first flight of a crewed spacecraft. The launch also marks the first crewed launch on the ULA Atlas V rocket and the first crewed launch on an Atlas-family class rocket since Gordon Cooper on the last Mercury program flight aboard “Faith 7” in May 1963. Go Starliner! Stay up to date with mission updates: https://lnkd.in/gZs_d77Q #GiantLeapsStartHere
