Every Day, We Get A Little Bit

It So Happened That My Goals Kind Of Matched My Career Progression Toward Becoming An Astronaut.

I Never Made A Career Decision Based Solely On My Desire To Be An Astronaut. I Attended The Naval Academy Because I Wanted To Be A Navy Pilot. I Majored In Math Because Math Had Always Come Pretty Easily To Me And I Liked It.

Every Day, We Get A Little Bit Closer To The Kind Of Expertise And The Kind Of Experience We're Going To Need To Go There. I'd Love To Be The Guy Walking On Mars.

A Civilization That Only Looks Inward Will Stagnate. We Have To Keep Looking Outward; We Have To Keep Finding New Avenues For Human Endeavor And Human Expression.

We Would Like To Carry Out 100 Percent, Or Maybe More, Of Our Scientific Program; I Would Like To Devote Some Of My Spare Time Toward Extra Scientific Work.
