He pitched on guts and heart tonight. He did an outstanding job throwing strikes on all three pitches. |
I don't view it as a risk at all, ... Soyuz has an excellent reputation for safety and reliability. |
I don't view it as a risk at all. |
I grew up in space times. In seventh grade, my teacher said we had to do math and science because the Russians were beating us in the space race. It was a real catalyst. I wish we had something like that today. |
I had a minor medical problem and they said I couldn't go. It took me a year to get well and then I finally went into space. That should just let you all know that you should never give up. |
I had rough times. There were times that I wanted to give up and quit. Don't give up. |
I think there might be a short-term decrease because of the negative publicity, but a year or two down the line you're probably going to see an increase in value. |
I'll be most relaxed and happy after the rocket takes off. |
I'm looking forward to connecting with the students to be able to share my experiences in space. I think it's very important to encourage the youth of today to dream big and let them know that anything is possible through hard work and dedication. |
In order to repeat as champions, we were going to have to play three outstanding ball games. |
It was a great week on the mound for us. Can't say enough about our pitchers. Their mind-set was to go after hitters, throw strikes and change speeds. They went out there and pitched on hearts and guts. |
It's a bit of an uphill battle. |
It's like a combination of college and military training. It's not five star, you're not babied... I was expected to do whatever was asked of me. There are frequent exams and I was expected to pass the exams. I haven't had that in over 30 years, the fear we all have -- here's the test, I'd better not fail it. |
Just to float in the air is such a great experience. I'm still literally on cloud nine about it. |
Losing, it doesn't happen here. It's not accepted. That's just the way it is. Winning is the standard that's been set by the past teams, and each new team wants to live up to those standards. So expectations here are as high as ever. Every time we take the field, we expect to win. |
