Zero Gravity Quotes

When I did my spacewalks, it was during space station construction. So the shuttle was docked to the fledgling ISS at the time. So we would always stay tethered.

The space station is the most unique laboratory we've ever built. The reason we have it is to do research on materials, people, medical matters, pharmaceuticals - the possibilities are nearly endless.

Spacemen die if they stay in one place.

Gagarin flew into space, but didn't see any god there.

We're in space and space is the place!

The thought of being in space, and kind of enclosed, I find would be very claustrophobic. I think I would panic in that situation.

If I could live in space, I would definitely do that.

Weightlessness was unbelievable. It's physical euphoria: Nothing about you has any weight. You don't realize that you are weighed down all the time by yourself, and your organs, and your head. Your arms weigh down your shoulders. In space simulation, you get to fly like Superman! You're hanging in the air! It's the coolest thing.

On Earth, men are seen as superior because of their physical strength, but it means nothing in space, where there is no gravity.

I've been approached to do some things with astronauts and the preparation that astronauts go through.

There's going to be space travel at some point.

A zero-gravity flight is a first step toward space travel.

As a researcher, I look forward to being able to do space science in a space environment.

In space, you need to stay as 'usual' as possible. On the space station, I would brush my hair every day.

Ladies and Gentlemen...we are floating in Space!

As we all know, there is no underwear in space.

It was a strange lightness, a drifting feeling. Zero gravity. I understood that everything that once seemed solid and immovable might just float away. And that this was a truth of life, not an illusion in the grieving mind of a child. Everything that is hard and heavy in your world is made up of billions of molecules in constant motion offering the illusion of permanence. But it all tends toward breaking down and falling away. Some things just go more quickly, more surprisingly, than others.

I think if I had to choose, I would rather have gravity instead of zero gravity. It's fun for a while, but I'd rather live on Earth.

Training was very extensive, and we dealt with many recoveries from emergencies, and fortunately, participating and observing and existing through the reality of space was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and it was not marred by unexpected hazards or catastrophes.

It's just this beautiful laboratory in space, and it's doing a lot of really cool things. So being up there and just being able to fly through that big station one more time and do some experiments while you're up there and get that view out of the cupola... priceless.

After floating for nine and a half months in space, gravity is not your friend.

I would like to do a movie in space, but I think it would be difficult to do it on location.

The strangest thing I've found is that when I got to space, I felt more comfortable in space that I've ever been on Earth before. I just felt this is my home.

Space flight's good for age; I have a lot less wrinkles up here. It's a good place to be as you get older.

We wanted to be in great shape, we wanted to be able to cope with zero gravity, we wanted to be able to cope with accelerations and decelerations and so on. So all of us trained so that we were probably in the best physical condition we had ever been in up until that point.
