We thought our careers as cosmonauts - we were young then - would end with a flight to Mars. But, you see, life has made some course corrections.

We were young, we were pilots, and we were hungry to test the new technology of 'space machines.' And we all wanted to be first.

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.

To me, tattoos are a way of people being able to express themselves and have other people look at them and get a little insight into who they are, without ever even saying a word to them.

Do not give in too much to feelings. A overly sensitive heart is an unhappy possession on this shaky earth.

Marriage can be work, it can be difficult, it can be hard, but I think working through those times makes you stronger as a couple and as a unit.
