It's No Secret That I've Been Reluctant

I Liked Math - That Was My Favorite Subject - And I Was Very Interested In Astronomy And In Physical Science.

The Rockets Light! The Shuttle Leaps Off The Launch Pad In A Cloud Of Steam And A Trail Of Fire.

I've Discovered That Half The People Would Love To Go Into Space And There's No Need To Explain It To Them. The Other Half Can't Understand And I Couldn't Explain It To Them. If Someone Doesn't Know Why, I Can't Explain It.

One Thing I Probably Share With Everyone Else In The Astronaut Office Is Composure.

Eventually Private Enterprise Will Be Able To Send People Into Orbit, But I Suspect Initially It's Going To Have To Be With Nasa's Help. Whether It's Going To Be A Consortium Or One Entity Remains To Be Seen. I Could Be Wrong. I Could Be One Of The Old Fogies! Rocket Science Is Tough, And Rockets Have A Way Of Failing. It Happens. A Company Has To Be Willing To Bear The Risk Of Its Rocket Failing. It's A Very Large Capital Investment.
