Astronaut Talks About Why She Chose Long Hair in Space

Okay, we’ve been posting a lot about astronaut Cady Coleman and her role as a consultant on Alfonso Cuarón‘s Gravty, but really, when was the last time there was this much opportunity to share interviews and news stories about a female astronaut? Also there are some clips in here of Sandra Bullock being badass in the movie, so they’re pretty enjoyable too.

So just watch this and pretend that NASA isn’t being shut down today because of an intractable Congress.

Instead she stumbled into a great job: founding and running this very website (she's Editor at Large now, very fancy). She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
