OVAL OFFICE INTERVIEWS.(favorite things racers would like to do)(Interview)
If given the choice, would you rather climb Mount Everest or fly in the space shuttle?
Mark Martin: My body is too worn out to climb Mount Everest. I could probably fly in the space shuttle because I can fly already. How much harder could it be?
Jeff Green: The space shuttle. I'm sure both views would be spectacular, but riding the space shuttle would require less work than climbing Mount Everest.
Dave Blaney: The space shuttle, of course. It has got to have some great acceleration.
Ryan Newman: I would want to take off in the space shuttle and fly around a little bit, maybe a space walk. I wouldn't want to go in the space station though; it sounds boring. On re-entry, I'd want to fly close enough so I could parachute to Mount Everest.
Jeff Burton: I would climb Mount Everest. Space doesn't do anything for me. Maybe it would be a cool view from space, but you're basically just hanging around up there.
