The View Of Earth Is Spectacular.

When The Space Shuttle's Engines Cut Off, And You're Finally In Space, In Orbit, Weightless... I Remember Unstrapping From My Seat, Floating Over To The Window, And That's When I Got My First View Of Earth. Just A Spectacular View, And A Chance To See Our Planet As A Planet.

I Was Always Very Interested In Science, And I Knew That For Me, Science Was A Better Long-term Career Than Tennis.

It's Too Bad Our Society Isn't Further Along.

I Slept Just Floating In The Middle Of The Flight Deck, The Upper Deck Of The Space Shuttle.
