@the.human.sparkler: Oh man, I grew up in Orlando and it was still kind of a big deal. People would drive out towards the cape to see the shuttle, or other rockets, take off. It's actually pretty cool to see. When there were night launches, we could see them from my house - it looked like a giant candle shooting up!

Maybe I'm too much of a fraidy cat, but it seems like NASA missions have been... failing a lot lately. I hope this woman is safe. :/

@jgh: You might be thinking about the last bit of news from NASA, which was that the Mars probe had finally run its course. I can't think of any mission failures since the Columbia crashed in 2003; the next shuttle mission, scheduled for later tonight, will bring two new sleeping quarters, a bathroom, and a kitchenette up to the International Space Station. Having said all that, Godspeed to our explorers. :-)

So jealous. I want to be an astronaut. But when I was like 7 and told my mom, she said I had to be good at Science and Math- and I'm not. :(

Go for moms in space, rather than dreamkillers like mine!

I think I am getting old, and turning into my mother. The more I read about moms doing awesome things, the more I think, "ahh...who would watch my children???" "I can't die! No one will love them like I would."

Sigh...I don't even have kids and I'm on the fast track to mom-martyrdom.

I admire people who have the guts to go into space. I am totally fascinated by space exploration, but I would be too chicken to actually sit in a rocket and have it propel me thousands of miles away from earth.

I really hope the trip isn't to Mars. That ain't the kind of place to raise your kids.

Space: The realm of struggling cartoons in the 1980's who have already sent their characters to Europe, China, the Jungle, New York City, and The Wild West. And now, the realm of Japanaese moms.

I need clarification. The first mom ever in space (which seems unlikely) or the first Japanese mom?

Good luck Naoko!

@hfree: Dr. Anna Lee Tingle Fisher was the first mom in space circa 1982 or so.
