My job in space will be to observe and write a journal. I am also going to be teaching a class for students on earth about life in space and on the space shuttle and conducting experiments.
Christa McAuliffe
No, I think most astronauts recognize that the space shuttle program is very high-risk, and are prepared for accidents.
Sally Ride
On a standard space shuttle crew, two of the astronauts have a test pilot background - the commander and the pilot.
Sally Ride
Our shuttle crew is four people, because we're going to transfer a crew up to station, so all the jobs are divided between four people rather than five or six people. So it's been busy.
Linda M. Godwin
Our task was doing maintenance and repairs to keep the station in a good state for the return of the shuttle flights and resumption of major ISS construction.
Leroy Chiao
So, for me, I make no difference whether I'm training with my shuttle crew or the Expedition crew. Of course, I think I want to take more care of the Expedition crew, because they're going to stay there for a long time.
Philippe Perrin
The nature of the shuttle was, we couldn't put a crew escape system in it.
Robert Crippen
The pressure suit helps if something goes wrong during launch or re-entry - astronauts have a way to parachute off the shuttle. The suits protect you from loss of pressure in case of emergency.
Sally Ride
The space shuttle has been a fantastic vehicle. It is unlike any other thing that we've ever built. Its capabilities have carried several hundred people into space.
Robert Crippen
The space shuttle is a better and safer rocket than it was before the Challenger accident.
Sally Ride
The Space Shuttle will stop directly below the Space Station and Sergei and I will be looking out two different windows looking straight down at the Space Shuttle.
John L. Phillips
The Twilight Zone' wasn't around with the kids. They think going up in space is neat. Within their lifetime, there will be paying passengers on the shuttle.
Christa McAuliffe
Then during the mission itself, I used the space shuttle's robot arm to release a satellite into orbit.
Sally Ride
We didn't use the shuttle robot arm before, so this has been a training flow to get ready for that.
Linda M. Godwin
We have lost one shuttle for every 57 flights and that is not a good ratio. I do believe we need to continue space flights, but maybe we can follow the example of the Russians and use unmanned vehicles to transport hardware into space.
Lincoln Davis
We have played a critical role in meeting the new safety standards. The Canadian space industry contributed new tools that make the inspection of the space shuttle possible.
Marc Garneau
Well, we spend an awful lot of our time working and doing experiments. It's very busy up on the shuttle.
Sally Ride
Well, with so many space shuttle missions that we've done, I think it's just sort of natural that each one hasn't necessarily gotten the attention that the early ones did.
Ellen Ochoa
When people have asked if I'd like to go in the Shuttle, I said you don't get to fly it, except for landing, which I'd love to do. I wouldn't go unless I could command it.
