I Slept Just Floating In

I Did Not Come To Nasa To Make History.

It's Easy To Sleep Floating Around - It's Very Comfortable. But You Have To Be Careful That You Don't Float Into Somebody Or Something!

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 Have A Lot Of Common Sense. I Know What Needs To Be Done And How To Approach It. I Have An Ability To Work With People On Large Enterprises.

But Even In Elementary School And Junior High, I Was Very Interested In Space And In The Space Program.
