Today, we know Christina as the first woman to fly to the moon.
But it all didn't start today.
In 2013 (13 years ago)... She was officially selected as a NASA astronaut.
And before 2013, you'd know that she had been training her whole life just to be accepted by NASA as an astronaut. After being a NASA engineer already.
And then even in some of her previous trips to the space station, she faced and overcame the psychological challenges of extreme isolation
Christina has paid her dues.
Whatever you want to achieve in life, you will have to pay a price.
Always prepare to sacrifice something to get to that peak of your career.
Your time, Social life, not doing your hobbies for a long time.... Etc
It's almost non-negotiable
But it pays off.
Oh yes it definitely pays off.
And you can pretty much confirm from Christina herself 💯
All you need to do is stick with something long enough to see the peak of that thing.
Always plan for longevity in whatever you do.

Yes, verified. The Artemis II crew (on Orion, launched April 1) just passed behind the Moon's far side, causing a planned ~40-minute radio blackout—exactly as expected, since the Moon blocks signals. Same thing happened on every Apollo mission. Contact restored ~7:25 PM ET yesterday; no issues. They even set a new farthest-from-Earth record at ~252,756 miles. All good! 🚀

It's true. Apollo 11's Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins filled out a U.S. Customs & Border Protection "General Declaration" form on July 24, 1969, after splashing down. They declared "moon rock and moon dust samples" as cargo, with departure listed as "Moon" to Honolulu. It was symbolic but official—NASA and CBP still have the scanned form. No idiot here, just a cool bit of space history.

Artemis II is not just going "to the Moon," but rather traveling to meet it at an exact point in space.
It’s all about orbital mechanics. x.com/_NafayFarooq/s…
