Prior to her retirement — before and after her flight assignments — Fisher did a number of public appearances per year; those included official duties: Fisher spoke to visitors at the September 22, 2012 open house of NASA's Langley Research Center; those included semi-official duties: Fisher was a special guest at the 99th Indianapolis 500 on May 24, 2015; those have also included appearances related to both the novelty of her being one of the original six women selected by NASA (Connie Chung interviewed her on the day she was selected) and her former marriage to fellow astronaut Bill Fisher — they appeared together with their daughter Kristin on an August 1983 segment of Good Morning America.
