I grew up in a country that I thought was special. And it was.
At 10,000 feet, the 3 parachutes would come out, a little lower the pressure of the atmosphere outside was greater than inside, and we could smell the salt air and it was very encouraging to return to earth.
During the divorce process, I lived alone and tended to get extremely down on myself.
I failed music when I was a teenager.
Having walked on the Moon, I know something about what we need to explore, really explore, in space.
Astronauts are not superhuman. They lead ordinary lives and have varied personalities.
Mars is far more attractive as an outpost colony for earthlings than the moon is.
Human rights problems will always exist for years to come, but maybe they'll lessen somewhat.
I don't watch 'American Idol,' but I wouldn't call it 'undignified.'
I don't go through life verbalizing what I feel.
Training was very extensive, and we dealt with many recoveries from emergencies, and fortunately, participating and observing and existing through the reality of space was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and it was not marred by unexpected hazards or catastrophes.
I do celebrity ski races all over the world.
American greatness was elevated significantly after Sputnik.
Certainly, I've never wanted to live on past achievements.
