My Take
Anna Menon embodies a career arc I find genuinely thrilling. A biomedical engineer from Houston, she worked as a SpaceX mission director and lead space operations before flying on Polaris Dawn herself. There is something deeply compelling about someone who once issued commands from the ground and then strapped in to fly. Knowing the tension of mission control firsthand and still choosing to go up takes extraordinary nerve. Born on Christmas Eve and reaching for the stars feels almost too poetic. I suspect she will become a quiet role model for the next generation of engineers and astronauts, and rightly so.
