Back in January of 2020, I had blogged about the incredible Jonny Kim, who was selected by NASA to become an astronaut. Well, a few days ago of this writing, Kim finally made it into space and talks about it here:

“NASA astronaut Jonny Kim is making his first trip to space. It’s the latest accomplishment for the former Navy SEAL and Harvard-trained doctor. Mark Strassmann sat down with Kim before his launch and traces his remarkable journey to the stars.”

If you want to learn more about Kim, he did an over *four hour* interview on the Jocko Podcast back in March 2020. I hope Kim has aspirations to run for public office one day. He’s an incredibly inspiring role model.

About John

I'm a Taiwanese-American and was born & raised in Western Massachusetts, went to college in upstate New York, worked in Connecticut, went to grad school in North Carolina and then moved out to the Bay Area in 1999 and have been living here ever since - love the weather and almost everything about the area (except the high cost of housing...)
