- Look

- Nov 07, 2020
Politicians and the government have become too interested in short-term gains. Of course, if you look at the direct financial returns in the short term, human space flight is expensive. But they need to look longer term.
- Questions
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People are fascinated by space flight. It makes them interested in science, gets them asking questions and motivates them.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I still dream about being on the space station with the feeling of being weightless. The weightlessness is the most amazing, relaxing and natural feeling.
- Nov 07, 2020
I would much rather fly on Soyuz than the shuttle.
- Lights
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
On Mir, the lights kept going out because it had developed so many electrical problems.
- Meetings
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I get standing ovations at meetings when I say Britain should be involved in human spaceflight. Unfortunately, that goal has been blocked by a handful of people in high office.
- Food
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Just because I'm a woman does not mean I have to deal with everything to do with food.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The advice I was given was just to make sure you look out of the window occasionally. It's something no astronaut ever gets tired of doing.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't classify myself as the first space tourist because I wasn't as though I paid and had a holiday out of it - although I had a fab time.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There is good science you can do in space. There is stuff there you cannot do on Earth and we can gain understanding from it.
- Science
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You don't go into space just for the science. Economically, it is not worth it. I think the reason we should be in space is for the exploration; it's the human endeavour.
- Boundaries
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We should be pushing our boundaries. After all, we Britons are explorers and adventurers.
- Learning
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I lived at Star City for more than a year ahead of my trip to Mir on May 18, 1991 in Soyuz TM-12. My life at Star City was so remote that learning Russian became my greatest priority.
- History
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When the history books are written in a thousand years, when space travel would have become routine, the moment that humans first left Earth will be of huge importance. Star City is a central part of this story and it deserves more recognition.
- Enable
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I hope there will be continued U.K. investment in human spaceflight to enable Britain to benefit from space travel in the longer term and that many more Britons - women and men - will travel into space.
- Inspirational
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The government will see that human spaceflight is useful - for science and the economy - and inspirational.
- Mars
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Britain should definitely be part of a Mars mission.
- Old
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Is a one-way trip to Mars ever really seriously going to happen? Surely that's morally reprehensible. However old people are, however much they say they want to go on a one-way mission, people should be thinking about the possibility of returning.
- Deserts
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
From space, the earth appears predominantly blue; the clouds are brilliant white. Surprisingly, you don't see much green, although Ireland looks green, and so do Scandinavia and New Zealand. The deserts are brick red and really stand out.
