What are the simple things that you enjoy in life? Like food, hobbies, a place to be? Or something simpler? Thank you for doing this AMA. One of the most grounded and interesting ones I've seen in a while

I second this! I personally can't relate to PTSD and bipolar Daniel, but I have a lot of friends who have dealt with other mental illness before. One piece of wisdom I offer the most is that life can get bad, but it never stays that way. Things always get better somehow. That's been true all my life, and has helped me through tough times. Maybe it can help you)

I know I'm not one of actual Blue Origin guys here but I'm currently in the middle of majoring in aerospace engineering so I feel like I have insight that might help you with this. I have a friend who is majoring in Computer Science and she's been interning at NASA the past couple months, and she hasn't taken any aerospace classes and basically didn't have experience in that field. For the math part I would assume basic linear algebra would be help if anything at all, I took a numerical integration class last semester that we used MATLAB in and that basically had all its fundamentals in that subject. But that might not even be pertinent to you depending on what you're specifically studying.

So in the end, maybe minimal to start out with but I highly recommend taking physics (mechanics in particular) if you want to head into the aerospace field because that's huge. Maybe even more important is to find an aerospace-type club at your school, like a Rocket Team or a Aero Design Team because my friends who do those sometimes have to code their projects which will give you awesome experience that looks great on resumes. That's what I'm trying to do more of this Fall. Hope this helps! And if you need me to elaborate on anything feel free to ask
