Astronauts Escape Malfunctioning Soyuz Rocket

What’s next for NASA? In 2019, we’re once again preparing for human missions to the Moon. We’re keeping the promise by developing new systems and spacecraft, making innovations in flight and technology, living and doing science on the International Space Station, and delivering images and discoveries from our home planet, our solar system and beyond.

It almost looks like a high school yearbook photo, Anna Lee Fisher looks so young. Instead it’s her astronaut photo taken by NASA in 1979 when she completed her 1st year of training. Dr. Fisher flew aboard Space Shuttle Discovery in Nov 1984 to become the 1st mother in space. It was also the 1st Shuttle mission which deployed & retrieved 2 communication satellites. Space heroine!
