Imagine a history teacher making history.

I will have a one-hour program called the Mission Watch, where I will describe details of the mission and give additional information about the lessons from space.

I cannot join the space program and restart my life as an astronaut, but this opportunity to connect my abilities as an educator with my interests in history and space is a unique opportunity to fulfill my early fantasies.

It's not the Olympics. It's Concord, New Hampshire, and a homecoming should reflect the community I'm part of.

No teacher has ever been better prepared to teach a lesson.
