Space officials chose six women and four men as finalists for a teacher-in-space shuttle flight next January. The finalists, none of them from California, were chosen from more than 10,000 teachers who applied nationwide and range in age from 33 to 45. Those selected will be flown to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Johnson Space Center in Houston on Sunday for medical tests, briefings and a flight in the KC-135 training plane.
