Andrew Chaikin: Hello. My name is Andrew Chaikin. Some people have mispronounced it as Shakin, but it's Chaikin like Church. Back in the Ukraine where my grandfather was from near the city of Kiev, it would have been pronounced Chaikin which is related to the Russian word chaika, which means seagull.
Now, I am certainly a fan of all kinds of flight, but as you can tell from my books, the kind of flying that I have always wanted to do would be to fly in space. And who knows, maybe someday I'll get to do that.
