NASA
== Hauck made an early impression on his fellow astronauts in his first days. Being one of the new TFNGs to sit at the table during his first-morning astronaut meetings. Some thought he was either a fool or the most confident among the new candidates. ==

== While in command of the flight, Hauck and the rest of the crew took time to honor those lost on Challenger. Hauck offered words of honor to his fallen friends, “Dear friends, we have resumed the journey that we promised to continue for you. Dear friends, your loss has meant that we could confidently begin anew. Dear friends, your spirit and your dreams are still alive in our heart.” ==

Post NASA Career
== After his divorce, Hauck began a relationship with Susan Bruce, a former Tufts student he knew during his senior year. They married in 1993. Hauck inherited three stepdaughters from Susan’s previous marriage. ==
