PON EVA (extra-vehicular activity, of course)

Maggie waves as she embarks on a mission to repair the Hubble telescope. She was born Aria Elita Ponow in Poland on April 3, 1998, and moved to New Jersey when she was three months old. She occasionally ventures into space travel, but only "when NASA gets really insistent," she says, "and then they have to offer me a doggie treat."
