Combs, who was actually 39 when she was killed on Tuesday while trying to set a new land-speed record, was honored by her MythBusters colleagues. "She was a badass. Always pushing limits. Sending smiles into the universe for her," tweeted Kari Byron, whom Combs filled in for when she went on maternity leave. "She was a brilliant & too-notch builder, engineer, driver, fabricator, and science communicator,  & strove everyday to encourage others by her prodigious example. She was also a colleague, and we are lesser for her absence," added Adam Savage. Tory Belleci wrote on Instagram: "Absolutely gutted to hear the news of @thejessicombs You’re a legend Jessi and I will miss you my friend."
