Contractual obligations. NASA already forced them to pay for OFT-2 after OFT-1 failed. The whole Starliner program has been a shitshow, it's a shame Dream Chaser wasn't selected for Commercial Crew Program.

Lightning protection system. They hang wires above and near the rocket to prevent it from getting struck.

Holy shit, that poor woman. Must've been heck growing up, but then again her being ugly encouraged her to study hard, not get laid, and eventually get a PhD.
She's got a PhD, right? They don't just let anyone be an astronaut these days, right?

She's married, her husband is a Texas cop named Michael Williams. Maiden name is Pandya
She was a helicopter pilot during her time at the Navy. As an astronaut she flew a shuttle mission, STS-116 and a Soyuz mission (Soyuz TMA-05M).
NASA doesn't require a PhD for astronauts, a master degree in STEM will suffice, along piloting experience and physical aptitude. Most of the recent ones are PhD though.
