STS-103 Crew Interviews: Mike Foale

Abstract

Live footage of a preflight interview with Mission Specialist C. Michael Foale is seen. The interview addresses many different questions including why Foale became an astronaut, what were the events that led to his interest. Other interesting information that this one-on-one interview discusses is an explanation of the why this required mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope must take place at such an early date, and a brief touch on Foale's responsibility during any of the four space walks scheduled for this mission.
