Space Traveling

The article I read is called "Minnesota astronaut heads for space this week." Its about Minnesota astronaut who is going up into space for her second time. The ship is called Endeavour and is scheduled to lift off Friday night. Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper, the woman who is flying, is the first woman assigned as the lead spacewalker on a shuttle flight. She is 45 years old and orignally was in the Navy but decided to switch to space. This is very cool because it takes alot of knowlegde and bravery to go into space. Its interesting that this is her 2nd time going up, there are millions of people that have/ never will go up into space. The best part is that she is from Minnesota, I didn't know that there were astronauts from here.
