Today, a coworker showed a picture to the group of his young daughter's school project display of the NASA Artemis program. She is all smiles and reminded me of Janice's NASA photos. So I told him she can be an astronaut if she wants and gave a link to Janice's memory on the NASA site. Our group is building the propulsion and power spacecraft for the Lunar Gateway space station part of Artemis.
That is so great, Glenn. Is there a photo? If you can't post it here, maybe on my Facebook page? I'm curious which link you shared on Janice. You make a great ambassador!
I so clearly remember the days when Challenger and Columbia were lost. Those are vivid and sad moment-in-time memories. A happier memory, though, that never fails to make me smile, is the morning when I heard a news report while driving to the school where I taught. Shuttle launches didn’t usually make the local news, but this report said Janice Voss of Wilbraham, Massachusetts was a member of the crew! I remember exclaiming back to the radio, it’s Voss, not ‘Vose!’ We were all so proud of Janice. Thank you, Linda, for your work to honor her legacy and all who inspire us by reaching beyond our planet.
LOL, Martha, I can picture that. Thank you for that memory. I know you followed Janice throughout her career. Lisa Baldwin just contacted me last week. The Class of 1973 (which would have been her class if she hadn't skipped forward) will be honoring Janice at their 50th anniversary reunion in October!
Thanks for the reminder of NASA's Day of Remembrance, Linda. I appreciate the story about your big sister spotting you in the press box on launch day, and especially like the photo you chose, with her "flying" through the hatch in freefall. In many shots, she is seriously focused and "all business." But in this one, it looks like she is enjoying the moment!

Thanks, Gary. She loved being in space. That was her job. Everything else was just preparation.
