Mike Smith talks about excitement for STS-51-L mission aboard Challenger
Close up of Michael J. Smith, sitting in a room and wearing a grey suit, vest, and tie. He says: "What I'm really looking forward to is just the experience of doing the ascent and seeing all the things that everyone comes back and talks about that they see while they're on orbit. Watching the crew work together. And you know, we've worked a long time now, nine months or so, putting this whole flight together. And watching everything happen, hopefully, close to the way we've planned it."
