Answer:

The interview focuses on her work as a pilot and astronaut while the article focuses on her background and education

Step-by-step explanation:

The article, 'Eileen Collins Is in Control' is a biography of the first female American pilot to fly a space shuttle, Eileen Collins. The biography focus on her background, family, education, dreams and aspirations and how she was able to achieve her childhood dreams with the loving support of her parents.

The interview “Eileen Collins – NASA's First Female Shuttle Commander to Lead Next Shuttle Mission” is actually a pre-flight interview granted by Collins before embarking on a space shuttle mission.

In the interview, she answers questions about on her work and career as a pilot first with the Air force and then later at the Kennedy Space Centre as an astronaut.

She expresses her desire to see other female pilots lead shuttle missions just as she did whilst encouraging the younger generation to follow their dreams and not give up.
