Head for a different target

The female astronaut certainly could start pushing papers, making speeches, lobbying members of Congress, & working within NASA to redirect the agency's value in resuming moon walks.

Are other options available? ALWAYS!! Perhaps our astronaut could strive to be the first person to walk on Mars, a pioneer for some element of the space station, or just a person who sets a new type of record for endurance or performance in space.

Truly,
