    The Lodge - The Untold Stories - Cody

    Cody Tucker returns to the island each summer for an annual Muskie hunt with her dad, a welcome break from a high pressure career. As the Business Manager for space missions at a science philanthropy, Cody is the central hub for operations. Every contract and invoice, every part of the mission goes through her. So, you can see why she would need this refreshing break to regroup. We chatted on the new dining patio extension on a beautiful evening, the calls of loons drifting across the water, (sometimes they were real loons, and other times, Charlene’s ringtone). In the background, a fire crackled as guests settled in for an evening of storytelling and taking in the scenic views. Check out the website describing what Cody's company just announced and the mission https://www.schmidtsciences.org/schmidt-observatory-system/ Here's also a cool article from astronomy.com about the announcement and the company's work We have to add the New York Times article as well! https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/09/science/eric-schmidt-telescopes-google-space.html
