When I was 12 years old, someone took me to see Martha Graham. It was nothing like what I thought of as serious dancing and even then I knew I was having a great experience. It was as if somebody was moving through space like no one ever did before.
Leslie Fiedler

Between the fear that something would happen and the hope that still it wouldn't, there is much more space than one thinks. On that narrow, hard, bare and dark space a lot of us spend their lives.
Ivo Andric

NASA has to approve whatever we wear, so there are clothes to choose from, like space shorts - we wear those a lot - and NASA T-shirts.
Sally Ride

I can never tell ahead of time which book will give me trouble - some balk every step of the way, others seem to write themselves - but certainly the mechanics of writing, finding the time and the psychic space, are easier now that my children are grown.
Anne Tyler

So everything turned out fine, and we were given the opportunity to go to Washington and be briefed on the project of man in space, and given the opportunity to choose whether we wanted to get involved or not.
Alan Shepard

Each of us can manifest the properties of a field of consciousness that transcends space, time, and linear causality.
Stanislav Grof

Then during the mission itself, I used the space shuttle's robot arm to release a satellite into orbit.
Sally Ride

Because when we're in space, my job is primarily getting us there and getting us back.
Duane G. Carey

I slept just floating in the middle of the flight deck, the upper deck of the space shuttle.
Sally Ride

I cannot join the space program and restart my life as an astronaut, but this opportunity to connect my abilities as an educator with my interests in history and space is a unique opportunity to fulfill my early fantasies.
Christa McAuliffe

No, I think most astronauts recognize that the space shuttle program is very high-risk, and are prepared for accidents.
Sally Ride

I do a lot of running and hiking, and I also collect stamps - space stamps and Olympics stamps.
Sally Ride

The food isn't too bad. It's very different from the food that the astronauts ate in the very early days of the space program.
Sally Ride

Space Mountain may be the oldest ride in the park, but it has the longest line.
Ric Flair

I suppose that every time there is difficulty. I remember about Space Mountain: It took us ten years before we found the technology that would allow such a ride. And during these ten years, I had a model that I kept, waiting for the technology we needed.
John Hench

The human brain now holds the key to our future. We have to recall the image of the planet from outer space: a single entity in which air, water, and continents are interconnected. That is our home.
David Suzuki

Yes, I did feel a special responsibility to be the first American woman in space.
Sally Ride

I told them how excited I would be to go into space and how thrilled I was when Alan Shepard made his historic flight, and when John Kennedy announced on the news that the men had landed safely on the moon, and how jealous I was of those men.
Christa McAuliffe

There are certainly times when my own everyday life seems to retreat so the life of the story can take me over. That is why a writer often needs space and time, so that he or she can abandon ordinary life and "live" with the characters.
Margaret Mahy

It takes a few years to prepare for a space mission.
Sally Ride
