Selected by NASA in January 1990, this man became an astronaut in July 1991. He is qualified for assignment as a mission specialist on future Space Shuttle flight crews. He served as the crew representative for Shuttle Software in the Astronaut Office Operations Development Branch. A veteran of two space flights, Dr. ***** has logged more than 438 hours in space. He was a mission specialist on STS-55 (April 26 to May 6, 1993), and was the Payload Commander on STS-63 (February 2-11, 1995).

This simple machine reduces the amount of force required to move an object, but increases the distance over which the object must travel (same amount of work done in total, but with smaller force over greater length). Think of loading a heavy object into a truck, and how the load is moved from the ground up to the bed of the truck
