@melhamlett: This Gen X feels so validated for centering myself and not men or children and seeing that represented on the global stage #christinakoch #nasa #childfree #tomboy #decentermen @Melanie Hamlett
I’m 47 and the comparison with her has wounded me, I’m struggling just to stay alive. She’s badass though, good on her.

I said this to my partner … I’m childfree not by choice but learning to embrace it & she is an icon! It’s SO validating!

As a mom of 3, she’s my idol! She’s the role model of a feminist in its purest form!

You’ve articulated exactly why she has resonated with me so deeply!! She is a living example for us about the great horizons you can reach when you bet completely on yourself. Pages like yours remind us constantly to do that because the world isn’t set up or very encouraging of women who do this. Love your channel ❤️

Thank you for sharing I very much relate to you and Christina. I’m not in your stratospheres either. But I’m single no kids in my 60s and have had so many fun adventures in this lifetime.

I’ve been a fan of hers for a while because I’ve worked in Antarctica for three seasons, and both her and Jessica Meir (another astronaut) have worked for the Antarctic program. I’m working in the Arctic (literally right this moment) after leaving another project on a sailboat in Mexico. I am a freelance filmmaker who doesn’t have / want kids, and I am as happy as a clam. Wouldn’t change a thing
