My focus hero is: Stephen Hawking I chose this hero because: Stephen Hawking, even though very ill with a sickness that has paralyzed him from the head down, has managed to be one of the most renowned cosmologists around. I chose this person because I have watched many of his documentaries and find his work very fascinating. My thoughts about this hero or this project are: This project will be easy and will give me a chance to understand the mind behind Stephen Hawking's amazing knowledge of astronomy. I'm excited to research Stephen Hawking because I am amazed at how much work he has accomplishes since he has been in a wheelchair for most of his life. It's also interesting because Stephen Hawking has developed many theories about space that are in the process of being researched. My questions about this hero or this project are:
How has Stephen Hawking managed to live so long with this disease, especially considering he was supposed to die, according to doctors, many years ago?
How many cosmological research investigations has Stephen Hawking done?
What are some of his major interests?
How many times a day does he need medical assistance?
