I Slept Just Floating In The Middle

The Space Shuttle Is A Better And Safer Rocket Than It Was Before The Challenger Accident.

Once You Are Assigned To A Flight, The Whole Crew Is Assigned At The Same Time, And Then That Crew Trains Together For A Whole Year To Prepare For That Flight.

Anything From Making A Mistake On An Experiment That Would Ruin Some Scientist On Earth's Experiment - Career, Potentially - To Doing Something Wrong With The Satellite That A Country Was Depending On For Its Communications, To Making Some Mistake That Could Actually Cost You And The Crew Either A Mission Or Your Lives. So There Is A Lot Of Pressure That's Put On Every Astronaut To Just Make Sure That He Or She Understands Exactly What To Do, Exactly When To Do It, And Is Trained And Prepared To Carry It Out.

No, I Think Most Astronauts Recognize That The Space Shuttle Program Is Very High-risk, And Are Prepared For Accidents.

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