qustions to space an from space
From: Tom Young, Scappoose, Ore., Age: 60
To: Pilot Duane Carey
Question: How do you log your flying time in the space shuttle in your flight log?
Carey: Tom, that is logged in a special category -- space flight -- and we get hours just like you do flight time on the ground. It's a lot easier to rack up the flight time up here for space flight, counting the hours here. I am going to try and get some pilot and command time, though, when we actually do the landing, since I'll be at the controls for that. Thanks for the question.
