Catherine, let me take your questions in reverse order as that's the easiest way to answer them. I think what I'd most like people to be aware of is that even though you can't see a "disability" or have no personal experience with it that makes it no less a disability for someone else. When I was a kid I wanted to be the first blind astronaut. One of my grade school teachers told me that you couldn't be an astronaut if you stuttered or if you were blind. I think that to this day neither disability has been in space.
