Wolf ready for Mir mission despite risks and criticism

Astronaut David Wolf, 41, says he is completely comfortable with a four month stay on Russia's Mir space station. He trained six years as an American astronaut and one year as a cosmonaut in Russia, and will depart aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis with supplies to join Mir. The mission, part of a NASA Russia exchange program, aims to bolster the future international space station, with Wolf as the sixth American to live on Mir.
