Iowa and Minnesota families of five astronauts reflect pride and concern ahead of the Discovery mission. They recall early interests in space, note the dangers, and describe a country town, church ties, and school memories guiding their sons into NASA's program.
Virginia Hotaling, sister of astronaut David Hilmers, reflects on growing up in DeWitt and their expanding family ties. She recalls their parents greenhouse business, moves from Washington to Illinois, and how David’s space career surprised their small town roots.
