ÔÇ£You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ÔÇÿLook at that, you son of a bitch.ÔÇØ

I'm very happy watching others do it and risking their lives.
Even if a comet was heading this way and there was a spare seat on an outward bound spaceship, I would give up that seat to someone else and look like a big hero.
Then go and sit in a lovely park with icecream, cake and alcohol of some kind, and sing loudly as I waited for the end.
Be the kind of woman, that when your feet hit the floor each morning, the devil goes "oh crap, she's up".
