TECH WHAT I WOULD CHANGE ABOUT AIR TRAVEL: Two pads of standard-rule, letter-size paper My best ideas are recorded and revealed when I write and draw by hand. The limits on carry-on liquids!

American Mae Jemison intended to be a professional dancer, excelled in science, trained and practiced as a doctor, and then, inspired by a character on “Star Trek,” applied to the NASA astronaut training program. She became, in 1992, the ﬁrst black woman to travel in space, onboard the shuttle Endeavour. Subsequently, she has used her renown as a platform to advocate for science education for children, promote medical research and travel the world as an inspirational speaker, a schedule that allows her to sometimes drop by her favorite destinations: New York, Seychelles, London, Chicago, St. Lucia and Auckland. Though no longer an astronaut, she has gotten to play one: as Lt. Palmer in the 150th episode of “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” making her the ﬁrst real astronaut to appear on the show.
