Somewhat bizarre that they say pro cheerleader-turned-NASA engineer. It's really the opposite. She started as an engineer and became a pro cheerleader on the side, according to her profile on the Texans website. http://www.houstontexans.com/news/Story.asp?story_id=3750

I think more accurately, that she was a cheerleader who became an engineering student, and then a professional engineer and finally cheerleader.

It's good for science, and for any field, I think, to show that there's a diversity of interest within it :-) Also -- what a cool first professional project.
