birdwatcherИ три на подходе. Мало, всё ещё ничтожно мало!!! Их надо запускать по тысяче человек каждый день на протяжении нескольких лет.
REUTERS -- Morgan wasn't a newcomer to NASA, having trained in 1985 alongside "Teacher in Space" Christa McAuliffe, who flew with the Challenger crew in January 1986.
After the accident, NASA asked Morgan to serve as its Teacher in Space designee but failed to make good on its offer because a policy change imposed after the Challenger accident banned civilians from flying on the shuttle.
A decade ago, Morgan's backers worked out a deal. She would join the astronaut corps and become a fully trained member of the crew, the first of a new category of astronauts called education-mission specialists. Three more teachers are now astronauts.
It was not the job of her dreams but Morgan accepted nonetheless, fulfilling a commitment she made after the Challenger disaster and reaffirmed after Columbia's demise in 2003. Естественно! Естественно!

Закрыть бы эту НАСА к чёртовой матери.
