For about $30 million you can hop aboard a Soyuz spacecraft and admire the vastness of the Cosmos thousands of miles above the Earth atmosphere. By all accounts, space tourism is out of reach for most people, and it’s not getting more affordable any time soon.

While some can’t be bothered to appreciate the grandeur that lies beyond our thin ozone layer, many would give an arm and a leg to go into orbit. Sheryl Sandberg surely is one of them.

If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask what seat! Just get on.

–Sheryl Sandberg

Born August 28, 1969 in Washington, D.C. to a Jewish family, Sheryl Kara Sandberg is an American technology executive, activist, and author. She is the Chief Operating Officer of Facebook and the first woman to serve on Facebook’s board of directors.

Before working at the social network, Sandberg was Vice President of Global Online Sales and Operations at Google. There, she partially oversaw Google.org, the search giant’s philanthropic venture. Sandberg also served as chief of staff for the United States Secretary of the Treasury. In 2012, she was named one of the top 100 influential people in the world by Time magazine.

Sandberg is an advocate for equality and an outspoken feminist. In December 2010, she gave a TED speech titled “Why we have too few women leaders,” and in March 2014 she sponsored the Ban Bossy campaign designed to ban the word “bossy” from general use due to its apparent harmful effect on young girls.
