About this Article
The space shuttle may be gone, but American children needn't give up their dreams of becoming astronauts. That was the message Shannon Walker of NASA shared Wednesday morning with students at St. Anne School in Barrington. She spent six months on the International Sspace Station in 2010. "NASA takes all kinds of people," she told them. "The most important thing is you have to do well in school. So study hard if you want to be at NASA."Latest Galleries
