I love the John Glenn model... I may call NASA in 25 years or so, and see if they'd like to send me to Mars.

Some astronauts sleep in sort of beds - compartments that you can open up and crawl into and then close up, almost like a little bedroom.

The stars don't look bigger, but they do look brighter.

Then during the mission itself, I used the space shuttle's robot arm to release a satellite into orbit.

The astronauts who came in with me in my astronaut class - my class had 29 men and 6 women - those men were all very used to working with women.

It's too bad our society isn't further along.

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.
