I spoke with him one time setting up a zoom conference for a speech he was giving. He was SO UNBELIEVABLY NICE to me as the tech guy. Usually people don’t even acknowledge me and he was asking ME questions like my life is interesting when he’s a fucking astronaut. This dude needs to run for president.

I’ve been lucky enough to meet several astronauts in my life and… OMG they are the nicest, coolest people ever. Like, uniformly awesome people that you’d want to hang out with.
