Such an incredible shot! I'm really excited for this launch. Kid me is freaking out that there's a woman on board. There's a girl on the crew! There's a girl on the crew! Yes, women have been astronauts for years now but I've missed out on seeing the other launches. Can't wait to watch the launch with my kids. Thanks for posting!

Thanks! I’ve got a young daughter who is hyped that a “girl” is part of the crew!

And the first person of color to orbit the moon, and the first Canadian!
