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? :marseyworried:

She's married, her husband is a Texas cop named Michael Williams. Maiden name is Pandya :marseytunaktunak:

Williams graduated from Needham High School in 1983. She received a Bachelor of Science degree in physical science from the United States Naval Academy in 1987, and a Master of Science degree in engineering management from Florida Institute of Technology in 1995

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.
