My sympathies have always been for working-class people.

You have to dream. We all have to dream. Dreaming is OK. Imagine me teaching from space, all over the world, touching so many peoples lives. Thats a teachers dream! I have a vision of the world as a global village, a world without boundaries. Imagine a history teacher making history!

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.

I will go around the space shuttle and give a guided tour of the major areas and describe what is done in each area. This will be called The Ultimate Field Trip.

If anything happened, I think my husband would have to deal with that as the time came.

Every shuttle mission's been successful.
