Why do the astronauts who will return the Space Shuttle
to safe flight believe human space flight is worth the risk?
How has their approach to space flight changed as a result of
the Columbia accident? How have they dealt with the events of
the past year? These are among the questions answered by the
next Space Shuttle crew, STS-114, in a series of videotaped
interviews available tomorrow.
Excerpts from the interviews, along with recent footage of the
STS-114 crew in training, will be broadcast on the NASA
Television Video File at noon EST Wednesday. Full taped copies
