G. David Low's Birth Card: The 6 of Diamonds

In the record

George David Low (February 19, 1956 – March 15, 2008) was an American aerospace executive and a NASA astronaut. The birth-card coordinate for February 19 is the 6 of Diamonds — a calendar position, not a forecast of a flight assignment.

The 6 of Diamonds coordinate

G. David Low's birthday maps to the 6 of Diamonds (The Generous Provider). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a mission and not a verdict on G. David Low. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You move resources toward other people without erasing your own claim.

G. David Low in the public record

With undergraduate degrees in physics and mechanical engineering and a master's degree in aeronautics and astronautics, he worked in the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) at the California Institute of Technology in the early 80's, before being picked as an astronaut candidate by NASA in 1984. In addition to holding some technical assignments, he logged more than 700 hours in space (including stints on the Columbia, the Atlantis, and the Endeavour Space Shuttles), before he left NASA in 1996 to pursue a career in the private sector. He was the son of George M. Low, the manager of the Apollo Spacecraft Program Office, and later, the 14th president of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Low was born February 19, 1956, in Cleveland, Ohio, to former NASA Administrator George Low and Mary Ruth Low (nee McNamera), and was active in the Boy Scouts of America where he achieved its second highest rank, Life Scout. He was married to the former JoAnn Andochick of Weirton, West Virginia. They had three children. He enjoyed tennis, lacrosse, scuba diving, running, and spending time with his family.

Where the record meets the 9 of Clubs

A card is a calendar coordinate, not a cause. What follows sets one line of the card's own published language beside one sentence of the sourced record, paired by a documented rule. It is a resemblance offered for the reader to weigh — not a claim about G. David Low, and not a forecast of a spaceflight.

You let a used-up framework go and keep the part that still works.

In 1994, he served as the Manager of the EVA Integration and Operations Office, and in 1995 he served as an assistant in the NASA Legislative Affairs Office where he worked with Members of the United States Congress and their staffs to keep them informed about NASA's aeronautics and space programs.

Paired on shared wording: keep, worked.

FAQ

What is G. David Low's birth card?

The 6 of Diamonds. February 19 maps to that card through the public Card Blueprints formula. The year of birth is not used.

Does a birth card predict a spaceflight?

No. These pages are coordinates, not fortune-telling. A birth card names a calendar day in a 52-card year. It does not forecast missions, character, or fate.

Where do G. David Low's dates come from?

Birth date 1956-02-19 is the day-precision date on G. David Low's NASA astronaut biography (NASA Group 10 · Deceased · 3 flights), verified against Wikidata P569 (CC0, day precision, Gregorian preferred). The two sources match. Year-only NASA dates and NASA↔Wikidata conflicts are dropped, not guessed. Page hooks and evidence come from the Wikipedia REST summary (CC BY-SA 4.0).
