...life, you are training for it now." He worked so hard in college that he saw only two movies the entire time, but he wound up with a degree in physics and a chance to do what he had wanted ever since he was 3. At his old grade school in Avondale, Ariz., where his sister teaches, there were shuttle-shaped posters saying YOU ARE MY HERO, MICHAEL ANDERSON and THE SKY'S THE LIMIT. A new model of the space shuttle had just arrived, and kids flocked to it in the library...
...exploded, her other brother Jon said. "After that point, you can relax." Clark's son Iain said he wished someone else could have gone instead of his mom because he was missing her.

He had got in a fight with classmate Timmy, which climaxed with his hurling an orange at Timmy's head and splattering a classroom wall instead. Called to account in the principal's office, he argued that the classroom mess was "all Timmy...
Most early impressions of Roberts cast him as a nobler character: big brain, big heart. He was the kind of boy whose eighth-grade math teacher kept his birthday in her birthday book all these years, alone among her generations of students. "I like to think that was an omen for wonderful things to come," says Dorothea Liddell. He was way clever, she recalls, so much so that if he didn't get a concept she knew she had to teach it again, but "he never flaunted his intelligence over the other kids."
