Astronaut Joe Tanner Inspires a Library Crowd


I'm sorry if you missed Joe Tanner at the library last Sunday, March 30. He spoke to a crowd of 165 at the library, and he was wonderful. Armed with fantastic photos of his 2006 mission to the International Space Station, Tanner shared inside stories of space flight and answered all kinds of questions. I thought it was interesting when asked if he was ever afraid during any of his four trips to space, Tanner replied "Only of failure."

NASA has a wonderful website, and it includes a short biography of Joe Tanner if you'd like to read more.
