I was introduced to Allison a couple years ago, but only briefly. I really only got to know her a few days ago, at a Foresight event on lunar governance. I hadn’t realized that she was so interested in space.
Anyway, she is a brilliant and very charismatic young woman, as this video demonstrates.
Server Issues
I hope they’re over. We’ve migrated to a new server, on a new OS (from FreeBSD to CentOS, for those who care), and there were I/O and corrupt database issues on the old machine. This should be more modern, with few(er) glitches.
