John Hockenberry On Not Becoming a Journalist in Space

Host John Hockenberry reacts to The Takeaway's coverage of the final shuttle mission, and tells a story of his own brush with the possibility of going into orbit.

John, I'm still a mere journalist-in-training who has shared the same dream since the mid 90's, but I see NO reason to give up on my/our dream. The death of a program cannot stop True Love. All it can do is delay it for a while.

Drat. I forgot to say that I use crutches/wheelchair as well.

Is there video of Hawking in space? His body is more physically limited than John's, it would be interesting to see how he moved.
