Another of the Parkland students, David Hogg, took to Twitter this morning in reaction to an Elon Musk tweet about today's Falcon 9 launch, sharing more about his and Emma González's interest in spaceflight.

I saw FH lift off and the two boosters land. I was so overwhelmed I nearly cried.
Emma and I are total space nerds. We really became friends through [teacher] @KyleJeter's Astronomy club at our school.
