3、e National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA) was looking for astronauts. What really shocked Chiaki, as she prefers to be known, was that there were no gender restrictions.She suffered for three days. Weightlessness has much to offer scientific research, she thought.

10、small the earth is. But you know what I first learned in Orlando, Florida at Disneyworld.“ Which brings Chiaki to another of her heroes: Walt Disney. Like Chiaki, he was a dreamer.

11、teach us about humanity.“Disney, and science fiction writers like Arthur C. Clarke, realized the Earth is just a small planet without having to go into space. Their accomplishment is much greater in a way than ours. We saw with our eyes. They saw with their minds eyes.“The first Japanese astronaut t

Chiaki says she had a hard time understanding jokes told in southern accents. “Flying is fine. Acronyms(首字母缩拼词) are easy to learn, so you dont
