Weightless Is A Great Equalizer.

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 Love The John Glenn Model... I May Call Nasa In 25 Years Or So, And See If They'd Like To Send Me To Mars.

On Both Of My Flights, Everything Went Very Well.

For Quite Some Time, Women At Nasa Only Had Scientific Backgrounds.

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.
