"When I had the opportunity to look through the telescope myself, it was nothing short of a transcendent experience," he continued. "Observing the technician re-imaged with such incredible precision and clarity, reduced to just a few inches in size, was surreal. It was a moment that not only showcased the telescope's extraordinary capabilities but also connected us viscerally to the magnitude of our achievement. This experience went beyond mere scientific accomplishment — it touched upon the very essence of human curiosity and our relentless pursuit to understand the cosmos."

I think they landed the right career.

When you have worked with great administrators of science Programs at NASA HQ and NASA Goddard Center, as I did, you can not but deeply appreciate the delicate balance that such pressure bearing positions had as was also the case with Nancy Roman.
For Years I saw her walk through various corridors with tall smiling pleasant demeanor and we all honor her contributions from Human space flight and satellite era relating to science.
A fitting memorial to her anbd hopefully a lot of future science knowledge through IR and visual space astronomy (JWST and Roman)..
Regards.
