A Person I Admire

For this assignment, I watched an interview with Ellen Ochoa, who became the first

Hispanic American woman in space in 1991. She went on to make several more flights and
has spent over 950 hours in space.

When the interviewer asked her what was NASA training like, Ochoa replied that
everything was harder in training than in space. Next, the interviewer asked Ochoa how

did it feel to float in zero gravity. She replied that it was fun to be weightless. She told there
was really nothing to compare it to on Earth. She said the closest activity was probably

swimming. Ochoa said her that astronauts had to prepare for all sorts of problems and
accidents. The interviewer then asked the former astronaut did she miss her family when

she was in space. Ochoa said it is difficult. She said the interviewer she used e-mail to
communicate with her husband when she was in space.
