This is the person they should make a film about. Bookended around the Challenger and Columbia tragedies, since Morgan's career spanned over the period in which those events took place.
Barbra was one of my teachers growing up in McCall. I remember the day she left, with her saying goodbye to us and telling us all about the Teacher in Space program. It was really inspirational for me then and started me down an amazing journey to learn more about space. Now I work in the industry and am about to launch astronauts of my own! Such an amazing thing to see her again after all these years and still doing great things for education and the space industry. Great job on the interview and if you ever talk to her again would you kindly give her my warmest regards.
There are exactly ZERO benefits for "space exploration". There is nothing "out there" that cannot be found here on earth at least a million times more cheaply. What do you hope to find? All the elements have already been discovered so there is nothing new "out there". All the planets are made from the same elements. It is impossible to "live" on another planet or travel in space without bringing EVERYTHING you need along with you since there is nothing on other planets that will support life. Every pound launched into space requires hundreds of tons of fuel. There is no fuel "out there" so ALL the fuel you need to go there and get back has to be taken along. It takes hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel to lift anything of consequence off the earth. And it takes just as much to bring anything back. The cost/benefit ratio is horrific. If you want to go just to learn new factoids about other planets, do it on your own dime, not the taxpayers, since they get nothing from space exploration but a gigantic bill. And I'm not referring to satellites circling the earth because they do provide some very real benefits.

Christa would be very proud of you, Barbara!

I didn't know she became a full-fledged astronaut. What a cool lady! Great music, too! Can't go wrong with Jupiter.
I really give her a lot of credit, it took a lot of guts to pick up where Christa left off and resume the mission.
this lady had tremendous courage not only did she fly after Challenger she flew after Columbia
Gustav Holst's Jupiter was a great choice for Morgan's quest. 👍
After seeing her mate killed in the Challenger disaster, she has some major guts to go up in one. I would chicken out.
Happy she got to fulfill Christa and make it safely to space luck for her no larry mulloy around
Barbara got to live her dream how cool
Gorgeous

Always wearing that suit around like a character. STRONG psychopath vibes.
You're overanalyzing. I've seen many alum astronauts wear the same body suit, especially at the Kennedy Space Center, when they meet the public.
