[male anchor] Meanwhile,
the crew is going through the routine of having breakfast
just before they take them out to the pad. This will be the second countdown for what's going to be known
as "The Teacher Flight" because it will feature lessons
to be taught a little bit later by Christa McAuliffe,
the schoolteacher from New Hampshire. And this is a departure for NASA because this will be the first time
that a real person, if you'll pardon me, will be allowed to participate
in one of these flights, and it portends more of availability
of flights for common ordinary citizens, and it kind of demystifies
and takes some of the mystique away from the old astronaut tradition. [man 1] This is Mission Control Houston
at the T-minus nine-minute mark. [man 2] Nine and counting. [man 1] All orbiter systems continue
to function normally, and Mission Control is ready
for the launch this morning. This is Mission Control Houston. [man 2] Roger Wilco
