Note: you had to be kind and nice enough for the former boss to care enough to:

- ask you to email

- read it and understand what you do

- follow up and spend the company's money

One of my friends went to space and had her life radically changed last year, and the opportunity entirely arose from the fact that she is one of the kindest and nicest people you will ever meet, and if you were tasked with filling the seat on that rocket, she'd be on the top of your list.

She got "lucky" in the sense that narrowly surviving bone cancer as a kid gave her a compelling story, but it's everything she did after getting cancer, and her conviction to follow her dreams, which led to the opportunity.

I saw the netflix documentary about that mission and Hayley was basically the main character.
