Over the past week I have heard 2 bits of news which suggest that
NASA may be planning to proceed with the "teacher in space" program.
One was that some Illinois teacher had been chosen as a semifinalist
and the second was on a TV news show (I was flipping the stations
and missed most of it).  Question #1: Does anyone know, for sure, if
there are concrete plans to go ahead with the teacher in space?
Question #2: What do you think of the idea, given the current status
of the shuttle program?
