My Take

Timothy Creamer simply leaves me in awe. Born at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, educated at MIT, an Army colonel and a NASA astronaut, he spent a long expedition aboard the International Space Station and was among the first to send a tweet from space. Add the Legion of Merit and a NASA Distinguished Service Medal and you have a man whose brilliance and nerve operate on another scale entirely. Yet what humanizes him is that he still calls Upper Marlboro, Maryland, home. Someone who has gazed at Earth from orbit and come back grounded is, to me, irresistibly cool.
