In the record

The King of Diamonds coordinate

Wendy B. Lawrence's birthday maps to the King of Diamonds (The Wealthy King). 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 Wendy B. Lawrence. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You run the system and you can show your work.

Where the record meets the 7 of Spades

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 Wendy B. Lawrence, and not a forecast of a spaceflight.
