Lots of little children declare they will some day explore the reaches of outer space. But how many of those dreamers make their wishes come true? Gregory Olsen -- a 1971 Ph.D graduate of the School of Engineering, who visited the University on Tuesday to talk about his experiences in space -- made that dream a reality. Olsen is the third space tourist, or, as he likes to refer to himself, "space flight participant." He paid an estimated $20 million to go into space. "You can't put a price tag on it," he said when asked if the experience was worth the cost.

It takes six hours to drive home to New York from Charlottesville.My father left Sunday morning. He had come down with our cocker spaniel Skylar for the weekend to watch his alma mater Temple University get slammed by the Wahoos. He was going to stop in Washington on the way home to buy my sister a fish for her dorm room and take her out to lunch.

"Give mom a hug for me when you get home," I had told him.
