Extreme sport has only ever been about goals and the ways to achieve these goals. Adrenaline plays a part, but it's never in the foreground.

The only thing you want is to come back alive.

Aviation - and space travel, in particular - have always been especially captivating.

If you want to do something extraordinary, there's always risk involved. I was always willing to take that risk.

Normally, when I skydive, even in winter, I wear very thin gloves. I want to be flexible, with fast reactions.

I want to inspire the next generation. I want to be in mission control with someone younger than me wanting to break my record.

I want to find a nice decent job as a helicopter pilot.
