Zitat des Tages von Gregory H. Johnson:
Children often ask me, they say, 'Well, how do you become a fighter pilot, or how do you become an astronaut, or...?' And I say, 'Love what you're doing and do it very well.'
I loved being a test pilot, and so being an astronaut was - was not my end point in, you know, either I achieved success by being an astronaut, or if I don't get picked, I'm not successful. I loved my career as a pilot, and it was a bonus to be selected as an astronaut.
One of my favorite places on the planet is a place in northern Michigan: Long Lake in Traverse City.
NASA has made a difference.
I remember the first time that I flew on an airplane overseas, it was about when I was seven; it was 1969.
John Glenn's anniversaries have followed me all of my life. I was born in 1962, the year he orbited Earth.
I was a military brat; we moved all around.
My first date was with Endeavour, and my last date is going to be with Endeavour, as far as space shuttles are concerned.
