In this clip from my interview with Merryl Tengesdal, author of Shatter the Sky: What Going to the Stratosphere Taught Me about Self-Worth, Sacrifice, and Discipline  she talks about how her dream of becoming an astronaut led her to join the U.S. Navy where she flew as an H60 helicopter pilot before transitioning to the U.S. Air Force to fly the U-2.
