Different astronauts sleep in different ways.

For whatever reason, I didn't succumb to the stereotype that science wasn't for girls. I got encouragement from my parents. I never ran into a teacher or a counselor who told me that science was for boys. A lot of my friends did.

When you can feel that close to something you're used to seeing from this great distance, well, it changes a person.

I don't have any nicknames.

For a long time, society put obstacles in the way of women who wanted to enter the sciences.

All adventures, especially into new territory, are scary.

I haven't written my memoirs or let the television movie be made about my life.
