QUESTION:
Would you like to go again?

ANSWER from Jim Cockrell on November 7, 1995:
Never enough time to do it right;  always enough time to do it over.

ANSWER from Kurt Richter on November 11, 1995:
My name is Kurt Richter and I am a FOSTER 95 participant.  "FOSTER" stands
for "Flight Opportunities for Science Teacher EnRichment".  I am also a
fifth grade teacher in Fairbanks, Alaska, at the brand new Anne Wien
Elementary School. I flew on the Kuiper Airborne Observatory, a specially
modified C-141 Jet that carries a 1.5 Meter telescope.  I was an observer
and a helper on my flight.  We studied the infrared emissions from
Jupiter's rings and also the metal emissions from NGC1068, a star cluster
in the middle of the Milky Way Galaxy that the scientists think is a black
hole.  It was exciting flying with the KAO scientific team.

I was able to fly on the KAO because of a grant that I wrote requesting an
experience with NASA.  My flight was even better than I thought it would
be.  I would fly with NASA scientists ANYTIME...and I am working at doing
just that.

Sincerely,

Kurt Richter
