I've watched Sir Patrick Stewart on stage and across countless TNG replays. Picard showed a lot of us how to carry responsibility, hold on to truth, and make peace with the untidy parts of being human. His voice will always feel like a future I'd like to belong to. Thank you. ๐
We mourn the passing of Patrick Stewart, who inspired countless individuals at NASA (and beyond) to boldly go where no one has gone before.
