glared hatefully at my chubby round cheeks, my chestnut brown eyes filled with hatred, my plump pink lips pulled back into a sneer. I hated this! Was I not worthy of being beautiful?! Why can people see my glory?! What’s wrong with me? “When will it be my turn?’ I asked my reflection softly, brushing the stray hairs out of my face. My hair stood messily on the top of my head.

After having some time to think about it, I can honestly say I took a lot of things out of it. Each of the four astronauts singled out by the film, Lovell, Haise, Mattingly and Swigart, all responded the many challenges appropriately.

What makes a person an American? It 's an interesting question, with an immeasurable number of possible answers.
