Space has always fascinated me. As a young boy looking up at the stars, I found it impossible to resist thinking what was out there and if I ever would experience space first-hand.

Maybe I am skipping over the city and going from very personal things to the world, from internal experience to giant, far-away-from-space experience.

The thing I like most about flying in space is not the view. The thing I like about it is doing something I feel very, very strongly about.

Space excites me. My dream is to go to space.

Since the age of 6, I've always wanted to go to space.

It's a pity I flew only once. A space flight is like a drug - once you experience it, you can't think of anything else.

The fascination to go into space has existed for hundreds of years. But as we do things and they're successful, people get bored.

I've wanted to go to space, really, since I was a little girl.

I always knew I'd go to space.

The advice I was given was just to make sure you look out of the window occasionally. It's something no astronaut ever gets tired of doing.
