Hello from above our magnificent planet Earth.

Life science research can be done on multiple platforms. Since we have a very small number of people flying into space, the more people you have, the better.

Life continues in lots of places, and life is a magical thing.

If you're trying to get someone who's sick with a fever off of a submarine and it's cold and raining outside, the only way in and out of a submarine, generally, is through a fairly narrow hatch.

There was a moth in there, and it still had its wings crumpled up, and it was just starting to pump its wings up. Life continues in lots of places, and life is a magical thing.

Whenever I do get to look out, it is glorious. Even the stars have a special brightness.

Gravity is one variable in a lot of scientific processes. If you can remove gravity or minimize its effect, then you can understand the other processes that are going on.

As a physician, I understand how important it is to collect data on people so we can understand what's happening with them. I will be in the position to help enable that knowledge.

The microgravity or the very, very low amount of gravity that we have up in space forces some changes in different processes. It forces changes in us as human beings.

Science, for hundreds of years, has spanned the differences between cultures and between countries.

There's a lot of different things that we do during life that could personally harm us and I choose not to stop doing those things.

The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart.

The pure modernist is merely a snob; he cannot bear to be a month behind the fashion.

It is the hour of pearl—the interval between day and night when time stops and examines itself.

And I come to realise that all my small todays, the way I act, will lead into my tomorrows.

Usually the threat of death makes people a lot more aware of their lives.

I can still improve a lot, but there is definitely a limit to what the human body can do.

Illiteracy must be banished from the land if we shall attain that high destiny as the foremost of the enlightened nations of the world which, under Providence, we ought to achieve.
