I've put a lot of my life into making it possible to fly in space at all.

When people have asked if I'd like to go in the Shuttle, I said you don't get to fly it, except for landing, which I'd love to do. I wouldn't go unless I could command it.

I would like to fly in space. Absolutely. That would be cool. I used to just do personally risky things, but now I've got kids and responsibilities, so I can't be my own test pilot. That wouldn't be a good idea. But I definitely want to fly as soon as it's a sensible thing to do.

I have wanted to fly into space for many years, but never imagined it would really be feasible.

I used to hate flying. I would sit there, rigid, convinced that if I relaxed, the plane would drop out of the sky.

I'm one of those people who loves to fly.

I'd love to go back to space, I don't know any astronaut who doesn't want to.

I don't like flying. I'm a bit scared of it and don't enjoy the whole experience.
