After The Challenger Accident, Nasa

I Would Like To Be Remembered As Someone Who Was Not Afraid To Do What She Wanted To Do, And As Someone Who Took Risks Along The Way In Order To Achieve Her Goals.

I've Spent My Whole Life Not Talking To People, And I Don't See Why I Should Start Now.

I Never Went Into Physics Or The Astronaut Corps To Become A Role Model. But After My First Flight, It Became Clear To Me That I Was One. And I Began To Understand The Importance Of That To People. Young Girls Need To See Role Models In Whatever Careers They May Choose, Just So They Can Picture Themselves Doing Those Jobs Someday. You Can't Be What You Can't See.

Then During The Mission Itself, I Used The Space Shuttle's Robot Arm To Release A Satellite Into Orbit.

We Can See Cities During The Day And At Night, And We Can Watch Rivers Dump Sediment Into The Ocean, And See Hurricanes Form.
