We were so fortunate to be able to express our heartfelt support for space exploration through our music! Bill Todd, my friend and JSC flight-training teacher, gave me a VIP tour of the Space Shuttle SST Simulator. I was also able to introduce my daughter to some of the STS-31 astronauts while they were training at the Johnson Space Center before their mission. My daughter asked astronaut Kathy Sullivan, who was standing outside of the motion-based simulator with Steve Hawley and Bruce McCandless in their orange flight suits, "where are you going?" Sullivan pointed a single finger in the air and said "Up there!", to which my daughter said, "Can I come too?" Boy, was Papa proud!! It was during this time that I first met Original Seven Mercury astronaut Scott Carpenter. Carpenter was just a delightful guy who was very inquisitive about music and the recording process. Every time I asked him a question about his Aurora 7 spaceflight, he answered and then asked me a question about the multi-track recording process!
