Judith Love Cohen was a pioneering American aerospace engineer, mathematician, and author whose legacy spans critical space race technology, trailblazing representation for women in STEM, and raising actor Jack Black....

In 1969, Judith Love Cohen went into labor. On the way to the hospital, she brought something with her: a work problem she hadn't finished yet.

Cohen was an electrical engineer at a time when women were still extraordinarily rare in the field. She worked for TRW on projects connected to some of the most ambitious American space missions, including the Apollo program.

Among her best-known work was her involvement with the Abort Guidance System for the Apollo Lunar Module. The system was designed as an independent backup that could help guide astronauts if the primary guidance system failed.

Its importance became dramatically clear during Apollo 13.

After an oxygen tank exploded aboard the spacecraft in April 1970, the planned Moon landing was abandoned and the Lunar Module became a lifeboat for astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert. The Abort Guidance System Cohen had helped develop was among the systems available to help bring the crew safely home.

But there is another part of Cohen's story that sounds almost invented.

On August 28, 1969, Cohen was working on a problem when she went into labor. According to her son, engineer Neil Siegel, she took a printout of the problem to the hospital.

She finished it there.

Cohen reportedly called her boss to tell him she had solved the problem. Then she gave birth.

The baby was Thomas Jacob Black.

The world would eventually know him as actor and musician Jack Black.

Cohen continued working as an engineer for decades, contributing to projects that included the Minuteman missile, the Hubble Space Telescope's ground system and NASA's Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System.

Later in life, she turned her attention toward encouraging girls to pursue science and engineering, co-writing children's books about women in STEM.

Jack Black became the famous one.

But before Hollywood knew his name, his mother was helping build technology designed to bring astronauts home alive.

They call it “boiling a frog” because if you put a frog in boiling water it jumps out. But, if you gradually heat it up, the frog doesn’t realize it’s being cooked until it’s too late.

Antonio Gramsci applied this strategy to advance woke critical theory in the 30’s culminating in the woke BLM, gender, and immigrant movements.

Muslims are simply picking up where Gramsci left off. In the Red-Green race for western deconstruction, this is the final lap baton hand-off.

[Chastity Creates Paradise on Earth @ChastityCreates]

@AlexDuncanTX Just think for a moment, how many Christians Muslims have murdered over the many centuries. They actually killed the best of the best. Imagine too what heights our society could have reached if our brothers had lived out their lives.

@AlexDuncanTX His words are the perfect reason needed to ban all muslims, or make them denounce sharia law in favor of the US Constitution.

[Eric Jensen @EricJensen_1986]

@AlexDuncanTX Islamic ideology is FUNDAMENTALLY in opposition to secular law. Islamic beliefs is inherently in opposition to FREEDOM.
Islamic ideology has NO place in the 21st century.
From the Quran, you can read "fight the unbelievers", "kill the polytheists" and other violent texts.

I understand that since early August a senior official within ODNI, and a senior DoW official involved in  directing energy technology have reported being targeted. 

I asked the CIA, DoW, DHS, and DNI for comment about the uptick in suspected domestic attacks + the status of DNI Gabbard's report into these incidents.

While the CIA confirmed receipt of my questions, no responses were provided.

I will update if and when comment becomes available.

[The Real Mike Rowe @mikeroweworks]

A couple years ago, Mikala Sposito applied for a work ethic scholarship from my foundation. She asked for $2,700.00 to help realize her dream of becoming a welder. (Actually, her first dream was to become an Olympian. As a kid, she excelled at horseback riding, dance, soccer, and track, but not quite at the Olympic level. So, Mikala adjusted her dream and focused on something within her reach. Precisely the kind of commonsense approach to making a living we try to encourage.) Toward that end, Mikala filled out the application, jumped through all the necessary hoops, and signed the S.W.E.A.T. Pledge, as all applicants must.

According to our internal ranking system, which is inherently subjective and relative to each batch of new applicants, Mikala scored a 94, and was awarded $2,100.00, or roughly 80% of what she asked for. This is typical of the average percentage awarded to an excellent applicant. As a rule, we almost never award the entire amount requested. We want our recipients to have some skin in the game, and we encourage all applicants to apply for additional scholarship funds elsewhere, which Mikala did. But in this case, if I had it to do over again, I think I’d have awarded Mikala the full $2,700.00. Why? Because this woman is precisely why I award work ethic scholarships in the first place, as recent headlines prove. Headlines all over the country that identify Mikala Sposito as the sole welder to represent Team USA in the upcoming @WorldSkills Competition in Shanghai.

This is a very big deal. The World Skills competition is often referred to as the Olympics of the skilled trades, so it looks like Mikala’s dream is coming true after all. And it seems to me her journey is worth a brief encapsulation. Before she applied for a scholarship from mikeroweWORKS, Mikala demonstrated an affinity for welding in SkillsUSA. As a senior at Dexter High School, she won 1st Place at the SkillsUSA Michigan high school competition and went on to place 14th nationally. Then, as a freshman at Washtenaw Community College, she repeated her success by taking 1st Place in the Michigan college division. She then advanced to nationals, where she finished 8th in the country. That earned her an invitation to the Team USA pre-trials, which whittled the nation's top 16 young welders down to three. At the final USA Weld Trials at the Robotics Technology Park in Huntsville, Alabama, each competitor was evaluated on precision, safety, technical execution, craftsmanship, and multi-process capabilities under extreme time constraints. Mikala Sposito took the Gold, officially becoming the first woman to represent the United States in welding at WorldSkills. Next week, she’ll face off against the absolute best of the best from all over the world.

I should point out that Mikala would prefer it if the press didn’t make a big deal of her gender, and I completely understand. (She’s a welder – not a “weld-her.”) But today, the industry is in desperate need of proof that women can and do excel in the trades. Nationally, just 4.3% of tradespeople are female. At mikeroweWORKS, our female applicants are closer to 20%, but I assure you that percentage could be much higher. Companies are anxious to recruit talented welders of any gender, and women need to understand and believe the opportunities are real. Mikala prove that in spades, and I want to offer her my sincere congratulations, and invite all of you to do the same. Because Mikala Sposito is exactly what our country needs a lot more of. People who understand that talent is never enough to compensate for laziness.

In her application, she wrote, “Hard work beats talent any day of the week, and nobody is going to outwork me. Period.”

She also connected with every point of the S.W.E.A.T. Pledge but said the final tenet resonated with her the most. “Some people choose to be lazy. Some people choose to sleep in. I choose to work my butt off.”
My favorite quote, however, is Mikala’s response to seasoned professionals who see her wield a torch and call her a “natural.”

“I’m not a natural,” she says. Far from it. And none of this came easy. I worked and trained 60-80 hours a week for two years to get here.”

Regardless of what happens in Shanghai, the job offers are already piling up, including the most recent from SpaceX. She hasn’t graduated yet, but the future looks bright, and I for one would not bet against her.

PS. I never do this, but since my name is in the title of the foundation, I suppose I can. Mikala – please accept the additional $600 you requested from mikeroweWORKS two years ago. Shanghai is expensive, and since you’re representing all of us, we’d like to provide you with a little walking around money. The check is in the mail.

Now…go get the gold!
