When You Can Feel That Close To

So Most Astronauts Getting Ready To Lift Off Are Excited And Very Anxious And Worried About That Explosion - Because If Something Goes Wrong In The First Seconds Of Launch, There's Not Very Much You Can Do.

The View Of Earth Is Spectacular From Space. Most People Imagine That When Astronauts Look Out The Window Of The Shuttle They See The Whole Earth Like That Big Blue Marble That Was Made Famous By The Flights That Went To The Moon. But The Shuttle Is Much, Much Closer Than Those Astronauts Were. So We Don't See The Whole Planet, The Whole Ball At Once, We Just See Parts Of It.

When You're Getting Ready To Launch Into Space, You're Sitting On A Big Explosion Waiting To Happen.

If We Want Scientists And Engineers In The Future, We Should Be Cultivating The Girls As Much As The Boys.

The View Of Earth Is Spectacular.
