6. Read the passage and then decide whether the statements that follow are True or False (1.5 pts)

Dr. Helen Patricia Sharman is a British chemist who became the first British astronaut and the first woman to visit the Mir Space Station in 1991.

Sharman was born on 30 May 1963 in Grenoside, Sheffield, where she attended Grenoside Junior and Infant School, later moving to Greenhill. She received a BSc in chemistry at the University of Sheffield in 1984 and a PhD from Birkbeck, University of London.

After responding to a radio advertisement asking for applicants to be the first British astronaut, Helen Sharman was selected for the mission live on ITV, on 25 November 1989, ahead of nearly 13,000 other applicants. The program was known as Project Juno and was a cooperative Soviet Union–British mission co-sponsored by a group of British companies.

Before flying, Sharman spent 18 months in intensive flight training in Star City. The Project Juno consortium failed to raise the monies expected, and the program was almost cancelled. With a view to the flight's impact on international relations, the project proceeded under Soviet expense although as a cost-saving measure, less expensive experiments were substituted for those in the original plans.
