Pluto and Linux, the Underdog Superheroes

I’m a space nerd. That’s probably not a surprise, but just how deep my nerdery goes might be. I have just about every space photo NASA has ever released. I schedule NASA.tv mission briefings on my Google Calendar as if they were specifically for me. I used to make my kids watch Shuttle launches on our TV, even if they were doing homework! (They didn’t mind that so much.) Heck, growing up, I wanted to be an astronaut, but since I’ve worn Coke-bottle thick glasses since I was four years old, I realized I’d never be able to go to space. In fact, I’m a writer today because if I couldn’t actually go to space, I wanted to write fiction about space.
