I will have a one-hour program called the Mission Watch, where I will describe details of the mission and give additional information about the lessons from space.
From Christa McAuliffe
Space is going to be commonplace.
If anything, the overriding emotion is gonna just be excitement.
It's not the Olympics. It's Concord, New Hampshire, and a homecoming should reflect the community I'm part of.
Every shuttle mission's been successful.
When I'm 60, maybe, I'll look at my pile of papers and wonder, What really happened that year?
My sympathies have always been for working-class people.
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.
I was a little concerned with how the crew was going to view me because I didn't know whether this program had been kinda forced down their throats. But they were wonderful.
I told them how excited I would be to go into space and how thrilled I was when Alan Shepard made his historic flight, and when John Kennedy announced on the news that the men had landed safely on the moon, and how jealous I was of those men.
