STS-103 Crew Interviews: John Grunsfeld

Abstract

Live footage of a preflight interview with Mission Specialist John M. Grunsfeld is seen. The interview addresses many different questions including why Grunsfeld became an astronaut, and the events that led to his interest. Other interesting information that this one-on-one interview discusses is an explanation of the why this required mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope must take place at such an early date, and a brief touch on Grunsfeld's responsibility during any of the four space walks scheduled for this mission.
