NASA had strongly objected to the Russian plan to permit a civilian on the costly research vehicle. After two years of negotiations, space officials have agreed on a process to train private citizens to take trips to the International Space Station.

Mary Cassatt gave up her social position and all thought of a husband and a family, which in those times was unthinkable for a young lady.
