The Astronaut Scholarship Foundation kindly invited me to moderate the STS-49 crew panel on Wednesday, Nov. 5. All seven astronauts will be taking part and we have a couple of surprises planned.

STS-49 was the first mission of the space shuttle Endeavour and it included the only three-person spacewalk in history. Those are the well-known highlights: come to the event to learn from the astronauts about some of the other firsts they set during the 1992 flight.

Robert, I can't wait for this one. Great choice for a moderator! 49 was a great mission! Turns out I've recently interviewed 3 of the 4 space walkers for our book (Outward Odyssey) on spacewalking and there are so many great stories.

I hope to learn even more, but then again I hope you don't spill too many of the beans.

Robert, great job moderating this panel discussion this evening. Great questions and then letting them run with it but reigning them back in to move on to a new subject. Too bad it had to be virtual. All 7 crewmembers came across as sincere and forthright about this amazing mission; it would have been even better in person.
