Loading ...Dear Friends,
I got my interview with NASA. It is January 14-16. (BTW – I jumped up and down and ran all over my campus hugging my colleagues!) There is no way I could have done this alone. I want you to know that each one of you has had an impact on me and my life. I appreciate your support and couldn’t get through this amazing time without you. Thanks!
To my family,
You have supported me through all my endeavors with nothing but love and encouragement. It was hard after dad passed away but we stuck together and made it. Mom, you have been amazing through it all. I know he would be so proud of us. Thank you for all that you have given me. I often think back to when we were kids and how I tormented you guys (Langley, Robyn, & Chris) but, you still stuck up for me, and supported me, and smacked me around when I needed it. I couldn’t ask for a better set of siblings. Sincerely, your bratty little sister!
I don’t know how I am going to get through the next month and half. This is the most exciting thing that could ever happen to me and I want to thoroughly document every moment so please leave a comment below and if you have any advise I would love to hear it! Sian
Why does one want to walk wings? Why force one’s body from a plane just to make a parachute jump? Why should man want to fly at all? People often ask these questions. But what civilization was not founded on adventure, and how long could one exist without it? But what justifies the risk of life? Some answer the attainment of knowledge. Some say wealth, or power, is sufficient cause. I believe the risks I take are justified by the sheer love of the life I lead.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!
You will do it I know it! I already talked to Dr. L and she will do a mock interview. I am going to research how NASA does interviews. Once NASA meet you they will know you have to be part of their team. You are made for stars. I am so happy for you.
Congratulations, Sian! Congratulations! Congratulations! We saw you last night at the ice rink and you didn’t mention this bit of news, your skates were always on the ice ~ we can’t be more happy for you ~ what an accompliment! We thank you for keeping us in tune and we await more good news. This is so exciting, thrilling, and “out of this world.”
Dr. Proctor ( Iove saying that)
Sian this is so cool!!! To even get an interview is unbelievable in itself!!!
The rest is just “gravy” as we in athletics say. Congrats and dont forget about us little people when you make it to the big time.

Good Luck if I dont see you before you go!
Chris
Sweeeeeeeet!!! What do we need to do to get you in tip top shape for this interview??!! Lemme know and we’ll do it!
You are the coolest person ever—I am so excited and inspired by what you do. Congratulations and good luck!!
I am jumping up and down for you too, Sian, and “awesome” or even “AWESOME” are not big enough words to describe it. I’m so proud and excited for you, and just ramping up to this must be an incredible rush.
Go to the top! Yay
Congratulations! I’m unbelievably proud of and excited for you! Thanks so much for keeping all of us “little people” in the loop. Don’t forget to thank us when you’re receiving some amazing award (in space????). If part of your interview involves a physical fitness challenge, I’ll be your coach!
Holy buckets, girl! You are such a rock star! I have told everyone on my campus about this and they are all pullin’ for you! Of course, as soon as NASA meets you, you won’t need all this extra good-luck wishing! Ah geez, Tony and I are going to have to do a rap all by ourselves this summer.. hahaha! Best luck to you, Si! You are AMAZING!!!
CONGRATULATIONS SI!!! YAY!!! You most certainly deserve this opportunity!! I am so excited for you! We must go out and celebrate ( I mean in a responsible manner of course!) I admire the fact that when you put your mind and heart to something you get it done.. I aspire to be like you! Thanks for everything!
Sian,
You’re a shoe-in. I knew it would happen when you first told me you applied. I believe the saying goes…”You were born under a golden star”. I’ll be watching through my telescope.

Sian is one amazing gal !!!

Your ‘aura’ has nothing but love, personality and know-how,…..my thoughts are with you, as is my love! Good luck my dearest!!! Thinking of you!!! =)
Excellent news, Sian! I’m very pleased for you. You are an amazing adventurer!
Sian, how incredible! Stacey and I are so excited for you! He’s going to be filming that writers’ conference for sci fi in Wyoming this summer, and several astronauts are going to be there. He thinks you should be one of them.
Sian,
You are so amazing! I am so excited and tell everyone I know about you! Congratulations!!!!! Thanks for keeping me in the loop!
I can’t wait to see you launch into the night sky someday…what a sight it will be! I am so proud of you!
Si you are the girl!!!!!!! I can’t believe I just saw you and hugged you last week in Denver. I should have held on to that hug a little longer. Congratulations, you will rock NASA’s world!
Anything I can do to help, PLEASE let me know. Praying for a clear path to the Stars!!!!!!! GO GIRL GO!
I’m very happy for you. I’m still waiting anxiously for the phone call asking me to come in for an interview. Congratulations and good luck!
Sian! What an adventure you are on. NASA will, of course, think you’re the best. Congratulations and all the best of luck.
Hey Si, what absolutely fabulous news!!! We are so excited for you we can hardly stand it. Jen O. (above) had my same first reaction – HOLY CRAP!!! We are proud of you and look forward to living vicariously through you! We like details, so keep them coming. If there is ANYTHING we can help you with, even if it’s just rides to and from the airport, please call on us! All our love, Beck and Steve
Siam,
I have never met you but I am very glad for you and wish you all the best. I’m also a bit envious, OK more than a bit. Go get them! Best of luck.
Chris
Sian,
Your sense of adventure, courage, intelligence, education, flying experience, personality, physical stamina and generous heart are a perfect fit for the space program! What else could NASA ask for? I will be here as your cheerleader in Prescott when you go for the interview. It is truly a privilege to know you my dear friend.
Dottie
I am so proud of you! Even though I have yet to meet you in person, you are family. Gary keeps us updated! Let us know and I am sure you will make it! Lisa and Kate
Congrats!! I’ve sent in my AME results and am keeping my fingers crossed to get the interview call as well. I’m working on the GN&C system for the new Orion vehicle at JSC, so if you have any free time while you’re here in January drop me a line and maybe I can show you around our division. We have a Shuttle fixed-base simulator that you may want to try!!
Doc Proc-
We all loved meeting you! Keep those Warbirds in formation and we’re crossing our wings for you up here in Prescott, AZ on your NASA interview!
Hope to here some good news soon and keep first weekend of December 09 open for next Prescott Pilot Party. (Astronauts enter at NO CHARGE!) woo hoo!
Props To You (We’ll have to change that to “Rockets To You”)

Congratulations! I’m in the interview group just before yours (Jan 12-14) and I look forward to meeting you at the Wednesday social between the two groups. By the way, did you run into Jim LoPresto when you were at Edinboro? See you soon! -Chris
Good luck this week and have a great time. Remember to eat healthy (small portions regularly) and get enough sleep. Little things like that will do wonders for letting your body support your mind in these exciting and stressful times. You will do great! You’re the best and they would be foolish not to take such a hard working, proven candidate.
