Alice Foggins

Alice Foggins, first garnered fame on a virtual reality recreation of a 21st century t.v. show "Hoarders". During filming, a fire could be seen out of focus and slightly off frame, with a woman yelling "Muffins no!". She used her short burst in the news cycle to spotlight important issues including the need for better scientific communication to the greater public through humor. However, she is most known for her admission to the Ammon program as an expert diver, technician and chemist.

Education

Alice received a B.S. in chemistry, but never went on to formally receive a graduate degree.

Publications

Alice went on to publish several books including "New life, cool AF" which the Zenith Chronicle called "vivid, disgusting and somehow narcissistic". In it she describes the dangers and wonder of extreme exoplanet diving with a "fatalistic fascination" as well as some of the more routine bodily preparation procedures for zero gravity.

Her most controversial work "How cats speak to us" was not critically well received; The most famous passage, 10 pages long details her sitting next to her cat, just staring into each others eyes. Reviews from her scientific peers ran the gamut from "epic romance" to "Is she...okay?".

Ammon mission

Before the Ammon mission she was evaluated for psychological stability in deep space. Reviewing the psych evaluations after what some called a "hasty launch", reveals that NASA pushed her acceptance into Ammon program due to public pressure. Concerns include anxiety from not being with her cat in space, were brushed aside during launch. Despite concerns, NASA cites that she was chosen from a very small pool of candidates specifically for her diving expertise in the field, and could think of "no one better suited up".
