Ask CNN: What is it Like to be an Astronaut
LEANNE ANGELL, MAYODAN, NORTH CAROLINA: Hello, my name is Leanne Angell and I'm from Mayodan, North Carolina. I'd like to ask CNN what it's like to be an astronaut.</s>CADY COLEMAN, NASA ASTRONAUT: Being an astronaut is a very, special job. Not many people get to do it, and it's -- I feel like it's a great privilege to have this job. Not every day is magical. Not every day is spent in space. I like to tell kids that I spend every day learning things. And we spend a lot of time training, practicing, repeating things over and over again, making sure that when we really get up to space, we really understand what's going to happen and how to deal with it if it doesn't happen right. Some of the practicing is sitting in a classroom, just like school kids do across the country. I spend every day learning something new, and I feel like I could learn about anything and it would help me in my job as an astronaut.
