When You're Getting Ready To Launch Into

Science Is Fun. Science Is Curiosity. We All Have Natural Curiosity. Science Is A Process Of Investigating. It's Posing Questions And Coming Up With A Method. It's Delving In.

But Even In Elementary School And Junior High, I Was Very Interested In Space And In The Space Program.

We Need To Make Science Cool Again.

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 Most Important Steps That I Followed Were Studying Math And Science In School. I Was Always Interested In Physics And Astronomy And Chemistry And I Continued To Study Those Subjects Through High School And College On Into Graduate School. That's What Prepared Me For Being An Astronaut; It Actually Gave Me The Qualifications To Be Selected To Be An Astronaut.
