I Did Not Come To Nasa To

I Find Myself Looking Around For Other New, Interesting Opportunities To Dive Into.

I Had Both Male And Female Heroes.

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.

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.

Even Though Nasa Tries To Simulate Launch, And We Practice In Simulators, It's Not The Same - It's Not Even Close To The Same.
