The first time a 17-year-old Eileen Collins drove solo after getting her driver's license was to follow the ambulance carrying her mother after a suicide attempt. After two decades raising four children on welfare and fending off an abusive, alcoholic husband, her mother was done. It was Collins who found her in time and called the police. After such a traumatizing childhood, had Collins simply gone on to make a stable life, she would have beaten the odds.

In 1969, when Buzz Aldrin and company landed on the moon for the first time, he had a special drink in the lander: wine. Despite Tang's reputation as the unofficial drink of the space age, Aldrin wasn't particularly sentimental about the stuff. What he actually brought to the moon - tucked carefully among his gear - was wine. Real wine, along with a small portion of bread.

Trump mentioned how difficult it was to become an astronaut, insisting he could've made the cut. He stated, 'I'm physically very, very good.'

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view... This is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye.

Astronaut Christina Koch stated that she and her crewmates are 'inescapably, beautifully, dutifully linked' after their mission to fly by the moon, emphasizing the strong bond formed during their journey.
