It's Easy To Sleep Floating Around -

All Adventures, Especially Into New Territory, Are Scary.

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.

Anything From Making A Mistake On An Experiment That Would Ruin Some Scientist On Earth's Experiment - Career, Potentially - To Doing Something Wrong With The Satellite That A Country Was Depending On For Its Communications, To Making Some Mistake That Could Actually Cost You And The Crew Either A Mission Or Your Lives. So There Is A Lot Of Pressure That's Put On Every Astronaut To Just Make Sure That He Or She Understands Exactly What To Do, Exactly When To Do It, And Is Trained And Prepared To Carry It Out.

Then During The Mission Itself, I Used The Space Shuttle's Robot Arm To Release A Satellite Into Orbit.

I Do A Lot Of Running And Hiking, And I Also Collect Stamps - Space Stamps And Olympics Stamps.
