Main Aug 10, 2005 I Salute Eileen Collins It's weird. Eileen Collins just commanded the latest Space Shuttle mission which was an outstanding success. She had the additional pressure of going right after the Columbia disaster, and performed her job perfectly. So why isn't she receiving a hero's welcome in the USA? I read loads of articles that complain about the lack of role models for women, and this is an unparalleled opportunity for the media to showcase a female who has reached the pinnacle of her profession. Unfortunately, there will probably be more written about Paris Hilton this week than Eileen Collins, which is a sad state of affairs. Anyhow, for the record I think she's an amazing woman who sets a very high standard for any person to reach for.

Her parents, Jim and Rose Collins describe her as "a very ordinary person, a down-to-earth individual. She's very thoughtful. Nobody handed her anything. Everything she is today, she's earned." About high school she said, "I began reading voraciously about famous pilots, from Amelia Earhart to Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) who played an important role in WWII. Their stores inspired me. I admired the courage of these women to go and fly into dangerous situations!"
