"I have always dreamed of this, since I was a child."

"The sky is very dark, and the Earth is a beautiful blue planet."

"When they saw me in my space suit and the parachute dragging alongside as I walked, they started to back away in fear."

"I felt very well in weightlessness, like a fish in water."

"I am full of joy and happiness. It's a great feeling to be in space."
