I'm excited just to go to space.

But thanks to the International Space Station, we're able to study the effects of weightlessness and develop countermeasures in orbit, close to Earth.

God doesn't really have to have a concern for my patriotism, but I am an American, and we were blessed to be born in America.

The thing that really draws me and excited me about the future is the opportunity to be a part of kindling America's passion for aerospace and space.

God assigned me a few really important things: this life, this vessel, but also my wife and that relationship, the two of us becoming one and then the family that we've grown with our four daughters.
