This vehicle is performing like a champ. I've got a super spaceship under me.

Living inside the shuttle was a little like camping out. We ended up sleeping in our seats. You had to pay attention to housekeeping, not get things too dirty.

The nature of the shuttle was, we couldn't put a crew escape system in it.

We were on the dark side of the Earth when we started to see outside the window this soft pink glow, which is a lot of little angry ions out there going very fast. We were hitting them very fast.

You're going very fast when you're on orbit, going around the world once every hour and a half.

If you want to go into space first time on a new vehicle that's never been flown, you want to go with a pro.

Selection of crews is always been somewhat of a mystery.
