Why did you choose these two cities? What makes them safer than any other city? Show your information using Inspiration.
 

#7: You are going to travel back in time on one of NASA's space explorations. You may pick any space shuttle and crew that you want to travel with.

                                         
Which one did you choose? Why did you choose this one over others space explorations?
