Strap in for Mach 25, and float in zero gravity on the space trip of a lifetime. Melroy's enthusiastic description of what it's like to be an astronaut engages kids and adults of all ages. "It's the coolest job in or out of the world."

Now you have the chance to share with a young generation, the experience of space travel by this extraordinary role model.
 

One of the most important things we do is to take pictures of the Earth. I remember one time looking out and seeing the Finger Lakes, which are such a distinctive feature, and knowing right where we were. And just dropping everything, and saying, get the cameras, we're over Rochester!
