  Scott Hubbard : Scott Hubbard, Aerospace Times. Miss Elliot, how does is feel to sacrifice? The next four years of your life.

  Sarah Elliot : It's not a sacrifice, it's an opportunity I feel... I feel humbled, excited, and greatful for the chance to be a pioneer.

  Reporter : Miss Elliot aren't you scared? Given the history, given the dangers?

  Sarah Elliot : Of course. I'm scared that I might let the mission down in some way. I was taught that people who took risks without fear were brave. Well, far braver are those who take risks *despite* their fear. Courage is fear that has said it's prayers.
