[i][b]There was just a news story saying how you were basically next in line for the Challenger mission. How close did you actually come to going?[/b] Well, it wasn't that I was in line. I had gotten a request from the Astronauts who were going up for the next journey for one of the shuttles. And they wanted Big Bird to go up there, so children from America would be more interested in the NASA space program - because they couldn't compete with Star Wars very well. That's what they told me in their letter. So I said "yes!" Unfortunately, there was no room in the space shuttle for Big Bird to go. And a teacher went instead.[/i]
