ON STATION: Last night, we watched Crew-1, SpaceX's Dragon capsule, approach and dock with the International Space Station. Once the connection was safely made, there were drawn-out opening the hatches operations.
Eventually, the four 'newcomers' (NASA astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, Shannon Walker, and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Soichi Noguchi) were welcomed on board the ISS by the current crew of three (Rubins, as well as Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov of Roscosmos).
APPLYING OURSELVES: For the past few days, we have spent hours and hours and hours contemplating what's next for CJ. He is on track to finish his associate's degree this June. He had initially thought about taking a 'gap year,' - a year away from college to work and adventure, but, well #pandemic.
College seems like a good place to park right about now.
So with that in mind, suddenly we find ourselves eyeball deep in college apps, online orientations, transcript requests, the FAFSA app, countless emails, acquiring letters of recommendation .. the list goes on and on. And everything is made a little bit more 'interesting' given his nontraditional educational journey. He doesn't always fit neatly into boxes and bubbles.
All that said, we're plugging away and exploring options. Stay tuned for further developments.
