NASA To Resume "Teacher in Space" Program

Bishop923 writes "According to this CNN story it appears that NASA is resuming the Teacher in Space program with the first teacher to go up in 2004. The Teacher in Space program was suspended after Christa McAuliffe, a high school teacher, and the rest of the crew perished in the Challenger Explosion." This is also the anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's flight in 1961; we did a good write-up last year.

I have nothing but the utmost respect for both teachers in general and for NASA. This program will continue to expand our intellectual frontiers beyond where we've ever gone before. The Teacher in Space program in particular will vastly increase our scientific knowledge of how children acquire knowledge in zero g.

Also, I would like congratulate NASA on not giving up. If you fall off the horse the thing to do is shoot the horse and buy another one twenty years later. Good job, guys!

Hopefully they won't let the teacher's students build the O-rings in art class this time.
