I can remember in early elementary school when the Russians launched the first satellite. There was still so much unknown about space. People thought Mars was probably populated.

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

When I'm 60, maybe, I'll look at my pile of papers and wonder, What really happened that year?

Every shuttle mission's been successful.

Sometimes when things get kind of frantic, it helps to call my husband Steve, because I think he's got a real good sense of where everything's gonna be in a few years.

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.
