Guess I forgot the winking emoticon.

Or were you questioning something else?

Just wondered what her plans are to go to Mars? (Interplanetary)

Beats me. Sounds like she is keeping them secret. It's her goal and dream,
so I'm sure she'll do her best.

When I was about her age I had plans along those lines too. My oldest
brother had a copy of "The Mars Project" by Wernher Von Braun and "Rocket
Manual for Amateurs" by Bertrand Brinley. I had checked out "Project
Sherwood - The U.S. Program in Controlled Fusion" by Amasa Bishop from the
library. With ideas from those references I drew plans for a fusion powered
spacecraft about the size of a small van. (The stellarator "donut" was
between the fuel tank and rocket engines. I had no clue of course about how
most of it was going to work!)

Four decades of reality later I wish her the best of luck.
