A Deserved Praise for a Fantastic Lady
First off, this work spoke to a left progressive like myself. It said McAuliffe, a Caucasian, went to a Black college for graduate school. She wrote her thesis on helping disabled students. An openly gay man who was a student in her class recalled how she was pro-gay (unlike the 1980s teachers that I knew) and that helped him survive school. She taught about women in history. The work stated that she identified as "a Kennedy Democrat" even though NASA asked her to remain silent on the topic. McAuliffe sounded like the awesome progressive that I'd want for a close friend even in this decade.
At least 12,000 teachers applied for this space program and McAuliffe's selection is laudable. This work shows how audiogenic she was. Recently, Susan Boyle, a Scottish woman with a beautiful voice, became sick dealing with her new fame. McAuliffe didn't seem to crack under media scrutiny. She seemed to handle public attention with ease.
Wearing my gender studies...
Very touching documentaire
This dvd is a must have for spacefans, who understands spaceflight is not only succes but faillures too.
The touching story of Christa Mcaulliffe the first teacher that went to space, but never got up there.
