One Thing I Probably Share With Everyone

The Experience Of Being In Space Didn't Change My Perspective Of Myself Or Of The Planet Or Of Life. I Had No Spiritual Experience.

So Most Astronauts Are Astronauts For A Couple Of Years Before They Are Assigned To A Flight.

There's A Huge Amount Of Pressure On Every Astronaut, Because When You Get Right Down To It, The Experiments That Are Conducted On A Space Flight, Or The Satellites That Are Carried Up, The Work That's To Be Done, Is Important And Expensive Work, And You Are Up There For A Week Or Two On A Space Shuttle Flight. The Country Has Invested A Lot Of Money In You And Your Training, And The Space Shuttle And Everything That's In It, And You Have To Do Things Correctly. You Can't Make A Mistake During That Week Or Two That You're In Space.

Science Is Fun. Science Is Curiosity. We All Have Natural Curiosity. Science Is A Process Of Investigating. It's Posing Questions And Coming Up With A Method. It's Delving In.

So I Saw Many Planets, And They Looked Just A Little Bit Brighter Than They Do From Earth.
