It was a very sad time, but it only inspired me to work harder to make sure that it never happens again. When I'm not at work I enjoy playing golf, softball, billiards, inline skating, attempting to play guitar, going to movies and reading sci-fi. I also spend a lot of time around the house with my two dogs, two cats, two rabbits, and a turtle. I would try to not be so shy and get more involved in extracurricular activities at school. I would also make more of an effort to learn a foreign language or two.
Few areas are as international as space operations.
This is even more true with the building of the international space station. Now I know that while there are a few geniuses here and there, it's teamwork that really makes the American space program a success.
