77
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,119

87
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 5: in New Hampshire, but she grew up and went to

88
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 5: college here. Poro says the point of the program that

89
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 5: nearly brought Christa to space was to give a boost

90
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 5: to the space shuttles.

91
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 6: People got used to see space shuttles coming and going,

92
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,160

93
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 5: They'll be paying respects to the center's namesake next week

95
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 5: attention to teaching and the importance of the profession.

96
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 6: I think that's what Christa really stood for, helping everyone

97
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,839
