I Don't Have Any Nicknames.

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.

I Have Been A Bit Of A Risk-taker All My Life.

Astronauts Will Remain The Explorers, The Pioneers-the First To Go Back To Moon And On To Mars. But I Think It's Really Important To Make Space Space Available To As Many People As We Can. It's Going To Be A While Before We Can Launch People For Less Than $20 Million A Ticket. But That Day Is Coming.

I Think Eventually Private Enterprise Will Be Able To Send People Into Orbit, But I Suspect Initially It's Going To Have To Be With Nasa's Help.

I Felt Very Honored, And I Knew That People Would Be Watching Very Closely, And I Felt It Was Very, Very Important That I Do A Good Job.
