john glenn used to joke you didn't really get into a space capsule, you put it on.laughter] they were really small, those original ones. now we have a space plane, the shuttle, which can handle crews of seven, eight, nine, lots of people. so they're looking for more individuals, and they're also looking for women and minorities because what they really want to add to the pilots, the cohort of pilots is to add scientists. and this is where sally finally got her chance. so now sally is chosen to be an astronaut. this is quite an amazing thing for her. sally was very private. she was absolutely an introvert. there's that miers-briggs psychology scale, and on one side are the is for the introverts, and sally was 100% on the i side. didn't react much to anything, very cool under pressure -- made her a perfect astronaut, of course. but when she got the call in january of 1978 saying that she had made it, she jumped up and down screaming, was so excited. calls up her best friend, the one in the picture to whom she said i want to win the nobel prize. calls up her friend, he
