It's Easy To Sleep Floating Around -

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.

Everywhere I Go I Meet Girls And Boys Who Want To Be Astronauts And Explore Space, Or They Love The Ocean And Want To Be Oceanographers, Or They Love Animals And Want To Be Zoologists, Or They Love Designing Things And Want To Be Engineers. I Want To See Those Same Stars In Their Eyes In 10 Years And Know They Are On Their Way!

No, I Think Most Astronauts Recognize That The Space Shuttle Program Is Very High-risk, And Are Prepared For Accidents.

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.

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