21 years with an unbroken streak of human presence on @Space_Station today. Humbled and privileged to have been a part of this accomplishment. The power of what we can do together will never be lost on me. https://t.co/HVDBRERX4C

What is up with naming stars as a gift?

The year is 2734AD, earth is officially too hot to support surface life. We humans have been living underground for the past 15 years whilst we built the spacecraft to exodus from earth in order to reach our new planet. The journey took years but it seemed like minutes for all involved whilst in deep cryosleep. The first waves of ships break the atmosphere and land and the mood was tense as we were about to have another Neil Armstrong speech which started with the words…. “Bloody hell, look up in the sky, the Gavin sure is bright today…”

Applying as a High Schooler to Intern

I was just curious because I found a few virtual internship postings that high schoolers could apply for. Are high schoolers competing against everyone or is there a different set of expectations? How hard is it for a high schooler to get in? If anyone interned as a high schooler, how was your experience?
