No kidding. When Sofia did look for her sister, she generally found her in Sanborn having afternoon tea and discussing politics with other international students. Both older Veniards were fluent in Chinese and interested in all things Asia. They shared meals at the Asian students’ affinity house and spent a lot of time with Asian studies faculty despite Sofia’s concentration in engineering. When it came time for Natalia to head to Hanover from Argentina, where the family was summering, Sofia hosted a party to introduce Natalia to fellow students, including Argentinian Olympic rower Max Holdo ’96. Natalia displayed no interest at the time. After meeting up at Ravine Lodge during freshmen trips, the two started dating. Now they’re married. Clara, who rowed at the College, laughingly recalls hearing crew team references to “the girlfriend” of the greatly admired Holdo. Having made innumerable visits to campus as a high school student living in Maryland, she needed no introductions to anybody when she arrived. She still has the Dartmouth sweatshirt she wore for her sixth-grade photograph. “When I got to Dartmouth I felt like I owned the place. I knew where to go. I felt totally comfortable. That was different than most people’s experience the first few weeks in college, when you’re trying to figure things out.” Her sisters’ advice helped when Clara chose her freshman trip. Forewarned that “you don’t know what Dartmouth people are like when it comes to their outdoor abilities,” she chose an easy trip: Hiking 1.

94 DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE MARCH/APRIL 2020 95 CONTINUING ED what i’ve learned since graduation Explore. Discover. Learn. James Newman ’78 An astronaut’s perspectives on gravity, Earth, and aliens

Interview by LISA FURLONG

“I watched the first moon landing as a 12-year-old who had just begun to realize I was going to have to get a job someday. I really liked math and science and thought being an astronaut would be a great way to combine those things.” “I was one of those kids who stuck with my dream. I allowed myself the luxury of trying for the astronaut program, even after the third time I got rejected and it dawned on me, ‘I might not get that job.’ After five and a half years with NASA I was accepted at the age of 33, which is average. I was happy to be average.” “I was idealistic enough to believe we didn’t have to take everything about our society with us wherever we went in the universe, that we could just take the good. Part of my growing up was realizing we’re going to take everything—good and bad—because we’re people.” “Kids still want to go into space. NASA usually gets about 6,000 applications during an astronaut selection cycle. After The Martian came out in 2015, the agency got about 18,000.” “Astronauts’ spare time isn’t usually spent looking at the stars. It’s usually spent looking at the earth. If you’ve never seen an IMAX movie of space, I recommend movies such as The Blue Planet and Hail Columbia, which do a pretty good job capturing the view. I also urge people to watch Interstellar.” “I watch space movies with a perspective that comes from my older daughter. When she was young and we were watching something I found an- noyingly hokey, she elbowed me to say, ‘Dad, it’s a movie.’ On the one hand, if you know enough about space, Gravity is a comedy, but I was on the edge of my seat watching it because it deals with many things astronauts worry about. In the end, it’s a movie.” “I don’t believe in the visits of aliens that have been reported. If NASA could prove aliens existed, it would get a much bigger budget. I also know how impossible it would be to have thousands of government employees in a conspiracy nobody reveals.” “Dartmouth was great for me because I had my own path and was able to stick with it. I didn’t join a fraternity, and I didn’t drink—and I learned so much.” HIS STORY “I do believe there must be other life out there somewhere given our galaxy of 100 billion stars and a universe of more than a trillion galaxies. Notable: Flew aboard Columbia (2002), Endeavor (1995, 1998), But, unless we discover some new physics, we are going to be stuck and Discovery (1993); winner of numerous NASA and academic awards; gave TEDx talk, “Homo Sapiens—Always in the Arena?” with speed-of-light travel, which is going to dramatically limit us.” Career: Professor, space systems, Naval Postgraduate School, “I will always miss being in space.
