WASHINGTON, June 30 (UPI) -- U.S. astronaut Barbara Morgan says she's leaving the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to become an educator at Idaho's Boise State University.
Morgan logged more than 305 hours in space during shuttle Endeavour's STS-118 mission to the International Space Station in August 2007. She operated the shuttle and station robotic arms to install hardware, inspect the orbiter and support spacewalks. She also taught lessons to schoolchildren on Earth during the mission.
