I Have Been A Bit Of A

The View Of Earth Is Spectacular From Space. Most People Imagine That When Astronauts Look Out The Window Of The Shuttle They See The Whole Earth Like That Big Blue Marble That Was Made Famous By The Flights That Went To The Moon. But The Shuttle Is Much, Much Closer Than Those Astronauts Were. So We Don't See The Whole Planet, The Whole Ball At Once, We Just See Parts Of It.

The Thing I'll Remember Most About The Flight Is That It Was Fun. In Fact, I'm Sure It Was The Most Fun That I'll Ever Have In My Life.

The Astronauts Who Came In With Me In My Astronaut Class - My Class Had 29 Men And 6 Women - Those Men Were All Very Used To Working With Women.

On Both Of My Flights, Everything Went Very Well.

I Can't Remember A Single Time [my Parents] Ever Told Me Not To Do Something I Wanted To Do.
