Paul S. Lockhart's Birth Card: The 6 of Clubs

In the record

Paul Scott "Paco" Lockhart (born April 28, 1956) is an American aerospace engineer, retired United States Air Force colonel and NASA astronaut, a veteran of two Space Shuttle missions. The birth-card coordinate for April 28 is the 6 of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of a flight assignment.

The 6 of Clubs coordinate

Paul S. Lockhart's birthday maps to the 6 of Clubs (The Nurturing Creator). 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 Paul S. Lockhart. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You pass on what you know without disappearing behind the lesson.
