Answer:

Those who helped influence and inspire Eileen Collins -to become an astronaut- when she was a young girl were the Mercury astronauts.

Explanation:

As the article says - published in 2003 - <u>Eileen Collins became the first woman to become a mission commander at NASA</u>.

Born in Elmira, NY on 11/19/1956, she was chosen for an astronaut training program at NASA when she was just one month in the Air Force. He has a bachelor's degree in mathematics-economics and a master's degree in space systems management.

<em>In her own words -during the interview- she explains that the </em><em>Mercury mission astronauts inspired her when she was very young</em><em>, despite knowing that there were no female astronauts</em>.

When she was in high school, many opportunities were offered to women, including being part of the Air Force.

He says that although she is the first female commander at NASA, she hopes not to be the last.

A source of inspiration for all young Americans.

"Sounds like the 'Arabian Nights,'" said Mrs. White, as she rose and began to set the supper.

The 'Arabian Nights' were stories made up by the narrator Scheherazade and told to the King over 1001 nights so that he would not kill her as he had done with so many other women in the past. In this way, it signifies that Mrs. White believes this story to be a made-up tale.

and

"Don't you think you might wish for four pairs of hands for me." Her husband drew the talisman from his pocket, and all three burst into laughter

Mr. White is jokingly asking to be given four pairs of hands, something that isn't sensible or realistic, because he does not believe in the power of the talisman to grant wishes. In the end the three burst in laughter as they do not take the talisman, or the story of it's power, seriously.
