If I can get some student interested in science, if I can show members of the general public what's going on up there in the space program, then my job's been done. ↗

Having the benefit to our society, not only here in the United States but throughout the world with the amount of invention you get from having a space program, is well worth the risk that an individual like myself has to take by flying in the vehicle. ↗
