Soror Astronaut Joan Higginbotham is assigned to mission STS-16 which was initially scheduled to launch on April 23, 2006. Soror Higginbotham is supposed to serve as a mission specialist mission on this 12 day mission to the International Space Station. Currently, her mission launch date is under review.

I am not a Delta, but I am a contractor at the Johnson Space Center. I am praying just as equally hard that they land safely tomorrow, although the weather is still a threat. I met Joan while we were volunteering at a Christmas party for Sheila Jackson Lee. She is nice. Her mission will have an African-American male onboard also. I don't believe two AA have been on the same mission before. So it is a big step. I hope their mission ,as well as others, is a sucesss.
