Sarah Palin Fellow Shuttle Astronaut

When I saw the news that John McCain had picked Alaska Governor to be his running mate, I thought she looked familiar.
Then I remembered back in 1994 when I went up on the Space Shuttle Atlantis when NASA was short on astronauts, she was one of the crew members!
This makes her the first person on the ticket of a major political ticket that has been to space.

The training to go into space was cut short. They had two pilots, (we were not allowed to drive the shuttle), the two of us and a chimp (who was given more responsibility as he had been on more shuttle missions).  We ate a lot of space ice cream which is not very good.
