A Princess can absolutely be an Astronaut as well. No contradiction at all. It's not about the details; its about the encouragement.

Mars will need its own queen at some point, so there’s no issue with being both.

Good point – we need not marry careers to color. People always forget "pink" used to be a color reserved for little boys (as a derivative of red) and baby blue for little girls (derivative of indigo).

For sure- One of the best junior developers I’ve mentored placed top ten in the Miss America competition.

That sounds like a very interesting story. Is she willing to do some sort of AMA? (Either here on other forum)

It would be incredibly weird to hold an AMA about someone else

Has been done in fiction: https://www.amazon.com/Princess-Astronaut-Vivienne-Kumar/dp/...

In reality, the number of astronauts is pretty limited as is the number of princesses so it is just probabilistically unlikely that there is some combination.

In fact, I bet the percentage of princess astronauts vs. non-princess astronauts is pretty close.

Wouldn't surprise me if a princesses are more likely to become astronauts than an average person. If they really want to go to space they have things to offer in return.
