The launch of a space shuttle can still make you weep with amazement and wonder, if you happen to be watching it.

People are genuinely interested about what it's like to experience spaceflight and try to get some of our perspectives on it.

I can't imagine anywhere I'd rather be than outside the space shuttle in my space suit next to the Hubble Space Telescope.

The thing I remember most about space is the view from the spacewalk.
