When the guys come back in from the spacewalk, there really is a distinct smell of space; it's something I will never forget. Kevin A. Ford backdistinctforget Change image and share on social
I enjoy going out to the plants, the factories where just some sub-element maybe of the orbiter or the space station is built. Those people take such pride in that component, and they build it to perfection, and it's just a pleasure to see that. Kevin A. Ford buildcomponentelement share on social

I grew up in Montpelier, Indiana. It's a little town in the northeast corner of Indiana. It's a rural community; about two thousand people, a very much hometown U.S.A. kind of thing. Kevin A. Ford communitycornergrow Change image and share on social
I think if I had to choose, I would rather have gravity instead of zero gravity. It's fun for a while, but I'd rather live on Earth. Kevin A. Ford chooseearthfun Change image and share on social
Anytime I float by a window, I can tell whether the outside is lit or if it's dark outside. When we're working it's just day for us with the lights on inside. Kevin A. Ford anytimedarkday Change image and share on social
The ability of the humans to not only function in space but be very functional when they arrive at their destination, those are the kinds of things we're learning from the science. Fuel transfer technologies and all the things we can learn about the space environment are all valuable to us for pressing on out. Kevin A. Ford abilityarrivedestination share on social
Life as an astronaut in space is a very interesting one. There are things we all take for granted here on earth, like gravity, that can make things a bit challenging. One of the fun things about getting here is the zero gravity and floating around. But it also makes things very difficult. Kevin A. Ford astronautbitechallenge share on social
One of the things I do know is we know very little about our universe. Even though we think we know a lot, and we do know a lot more than we used to, we have a lot to learn about our universe. Kevin A. Ford learnlotthing Change image and share on social
