up real quick. i was in the first class of astronauts chosen after the challenger accident and my application frs in at the time of the accident. when i went up into space in 1992, to my chagrin, i was the first woman of color in the entire world to go into space. the reason i say that is because when i was a little girl, assuming i would go into space, assumed there would be many people and different kinds of people. that gets to the democratization that we were talking about. we have to make sure that lots of people are involved, not only as astronauts going up, but in the bulding the development of those things we came back in a different mission because i had been up for a number of days and done lots of, permits. i came off.
