After being once in space, I was keen to go back there. But it didn't happen.

I could have gone on flying through space forever.

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.

I thought any chance I had of space travel would be military or government-controlled.

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

I've been lucky enough to fly to space twice.

I quit flying years ago. I don't want to die with tourists.

Flying in space is a privilege, whether it's the first time or the fourth time.

I've always hankered after going into space and walking on the moon and Mars. I did want to be an astronaut, and had there been a manned space flight programme in the U.K., I would have been knocking on the door.

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