Astronauts are very professional and when they're preparing for launch, they prepare for it as the most serious endeavor of our lives.

Welcome to President Bush, Mrs. Bush, and my fellow astronauts.

There are no wishy-washy astronauts. You don't get up there by being uncaring and blase. And whatever gave you the sense of tenacity and purpose to get that far in life is absolutely reaffirmed and deepened by the experience itself.

It's really a good feeling to know that we put this up there, that it's working, that all these people's plans that worked so hard came together and things fit and we've got a real space station.

We want to make sure we get living astronauts to the surface of Mars.

Pioneering in space was something I would willingly give my life for.

A journey into space is the greatest adventure I can imagine.

I always wanted to be an astronaut.

I can't think of anything that's as exciting as I'm sure this mission will be, and actually being in space. But, we did some training as a crew together.

Historically, a successful life in comedy is a dream that's as equally pondered and unpursued as being an astronaut.
