Everything every day here on Earth is based on gravity, and you don't realize it until you don't have it anymore.

Day You Every Day Earth Gravity

To be able to float and move around and, pretty much effortlessly, do whatever you want with your body in space is pretty amazing.

Space Amazing You Body Your Body

I know the first female astronauts selected were definitely an inspiration to me, and so maybe I will be a role model.

I started out as a farm girl in Iowa, and I dreamed of being an astronaut and an explorer. And I made it.
