So, we have to get up and get pumped up for each day.
I'm looking forward to coming back, back to Earth, the landing, the views.
And, so I set my goals on astronaut because, as a military aviator, it was, I considered that to be about the peak of a flying career.
Because when we're in space, my job is primarily getting us there and getting us back.
And, I wouldn't consider myself to be a natural pilot; I've had to work at it.
And then, when I thought about joining the Air Force, flying seemed like a natural extension of the motorcycling experience. You're going faster, higher. You're operating a machine that's a lot more powerful than you are.
