I will always love John Denver, but the song I always blasted on trips back from college was "Homeward Bound" by Simon and Garfunkel. (I'm homeward bound tonight, for the first time in a few years, and for the last time to this particular home)

I want to use my spaceflight to uplift and shine a spotlight on my home state of West Virginia. If space travel were a pagent - my platform would be the Mountain State! I've worked to find some incredible WV teachers and I'm hoping you'll help me clear their wish lists 👇

The telling sentence is in the second paragraph: "Now, at Room 100’s newcomer welcome station, Romano and Moreno connect families from all over the world with a range of services not available a block away at City Hall."

Gah, this! I am having this argument with my kid's school community right now. A small, vocal subset of our community wants to panic about unhoused folks and some overflowing garbage cans while ignoring traffic dangers!
This is one of the things I find most frustrating about conversations around safe streets w/my neighbors. They'll pay for private security and talk about how scared they feel, but they don't even register cars as the main threat they face every day. It's invisible to most people.
