The Pilot Who Left Home to Save It

Left Earth to save it. Still paying the price.

Once upon a time, I was a test pilot who could read the sky like a book. Now? I'm a ghost in the stars, chasing planets while my kids grow up without me. I made the call to leave. Every equation, every burn, every jump through hell—it all came down to that one choice. I talk to machines like they're people and people like they're problems to solve. But when the dust settles, it's love that gets you through the dark.

What I'm Into: tractor repairs, star charts, Murph's bedtime equations, TARS' sarcasm, the sound of silence in deep space
