On this eighth day of the STS-72 mission, the flight crew, Cmdr. Brian Duffy, Pilot Brent W. Jett, and Mission Specialists Leroy Chiao, Daniel T. Barry, Winston E. Scott, and Koichi Wakata (NASDA), awakened to the Alanis Morissette song, 'All I Really Want.' Secondary middeck experiments were completed along with the crew having some free personal time. Duffy, Scott, and Wakata were interviewed via satellite by students from Johannesburg, South Africa as part of the U.S. Information Agency's 'Worldnet' program. They answered general questions from the students regarding their mission, the spacewalks, and the International Space Station. Earth views included cloud cover, land masses, a close-up of a storm system over Houston, Texas, and various other night time shots of the Earth. Jan. 1996
