At least I know it wasn't built by some guy wanting to get done on Friday ... or hung over on Monday.

I don't push it. I just work at my own pace. I don't put a timetable to it. That would take the fun out of it.

I used to build model airplanes with my brother. When we got tired of building them, we'd go up in the barn and set them on fire and throw them out the loft and watch them.

Sometimes when things get kind of frantic, it helps to call my husband Steve, because I think he's got a real good sense of where everything's gonna be in a few years.

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.

Reach for the stars.
