I've met Zubrin a number of times. A truly brilliant man!

@bradwatson7324 Oh come on. She's just excited.

[bradwatson7324]

Hero needs to work on eliminating 3 nervous things she does: 1. the quick curtsy-like bob 2. the quick shoulder raise 3. the quick hair push.

Her parents can help her with this and, since she's only 9, there's plenty of time.
