My Take
Garrett Reisman fascinates me because he refuses to fit one box. A Caltech-trained engineer who actually flew to the International Space Station, lived there across two expeditions, and came home with NASA's Distinguished Service Medal, he then pivoted into entrepreneurship rather than resting on the legend. That blend of a researcher's rigor and an adventurer's nerve is rare. Even his social handle, astro_g_dogg, signals a man who doesn't take himself too seriously, which I find genuinely likable.
