Ever been to Disneyland? That was definitely an E ticket!

The food isn't too bad. It's very different from the food that the astronauts ate in the very early days of the space program.

My parents must have done a great job. Anytime I wanted to pursue something that they weren't familiar with, that was not part of their lifestyle, they let me go ahead and do it.

The thing I'll remember most about the flight is that it was fun. In fact, I'm sure it was the most fun that I'll ever have in my life.

On a standard space shuttle crew, two of the astronauts have a test pilot background - the commander and the pilot.

If they asked me if I wanted to go into space tomorrow, I'd do it in a heartbeat. On the other hand, if they asked me if I wanted to go into training for three years and then go into space again, I'd probably say no.

It takes a couple of years just to get the background and knowledge that you need before you can go into detailed training for your mission.
