I felt fine after 24 hours and asked the state commission to prolong my stay in space to three days. And I carried out the entire schedule. Could I have done that if I had been half-dead?

They forbade me from flying, despite all my protests and arguments. After being once in space, I was desperately keen to go back there. But it didn't happen.

The ideals of the party were close to me, and I have tried to adhere to those principles all my life. In essence, they are the same as in the Ten Commandments in the Bible. I will never change my convictions.

Anyone who has spent any time in space will love it for the rest of their lives. I achieved my childhood dream of the sky.

Russia is still the leader in world space exploration. But its position of leader involves great responsibility - we have no right to lag behind. We can and we must move constantly forward.

If women can be railroad workers in Russia, why can't they fly in space?

I am convinced that the modular structure of the Mir will be the main trend in manned orbital stations development in the next century.

I felt fine after 24 hours and asked the state commission to prolong my stay in space to three days. And I carried out the entire schedule. Could I have done that if I had been half-dead?

To tell her that I joined the parachute club was too hard for me. I didn't want to trouble her; besides, I was not completely sure about the success of my new adventure.

Once you've been in space, you appreciate how small and fragile the Earth is.

A bird cannot fly with one wing only. Human space flight cannot develop any further without the active participation of women.

After being once in space, I was keen to go back there. But it didn't happen.

Cosmonauts can keep their word like men and women - particularly women.

Hey sky, take off your hat, I'm on my way!

I am deeply grieved by the loss of the crew of Columbia. I express my sincere condolences to the families and friends of the astronauts. I believe that their names will remain as the bright sparkling stars in the universe and will light the way for those who will follow them on the difficult roads of space exploration.

I love Star City - it is my home.

I see Vostok-6 quite often in the centre for cosmonaut training. And every time I pass it by, I stroke it and say, 'My lovely one, my best and most beautiful friend, my best and most beautiful man.'

I think Star City should have Unesco World Heritage status. It will need to be adapted a little bit and made more glamorous than it looks now, but it should definitely be protected for the future.

I would enjoy flying to Mars. This was the dream of the first cosmonauts. I wish I could realize it! I am ready to fly without coming back.

It doesn't matter what country or what political system you are from. Space brings you together.

More women should actively participate in space flight. There are many well educated women working in the space industry; they are very good candidates.

Of course, it's a dream to go to Mars. I want to find out whether there was life there or not. And if there was, then why did it die out? What sort of catastrophe happened?

On Earth, men and women are taking the same risks. Why shouldn't we be taking the same risks in space?

One cannot deny the great role women have played in the world community. My flight was yet another impetus to continue this female contribution.

The missing toothbrush was nothing compared with the fact that the spacecraft was orientated to ascend, not descend. I would have gone up and up instead of going back down to the ground.

There was a lake beneath me, but the big, heavy parachute which had to be opened two miles above the ground couldn't be steered. My first thought was, 'Lord, they send just one woman into space, and she has to end up in the water.'

You don't think about the danger. The spaceship becomes your home.

I don't have space to enter into the examples or the history of this, so I'm left with having to make the bold statement that culture is extinct.

Each atom of the Holy Spirit is intelligent, and like all other matter has solidity, form, and size, and occupies space.

During that space walk there will be some repositioning of the power so that the arm can be fully controlled by the robotic station that is in the Lab.

We are a communicating nation which needs access to space, access to the seas.

We must admit with humility that, while number is purely a product of our minds, space has a reality outside our minds, so that we cannot completely prescribe its properties a priori.

Because I've lived in one room my entire life, working at the same table that you use to pay bills at and eat at. It's going to be nice to have actual space.

On one hand, to be able to go from one direction in the sky to study such an object to another direction to study another object, and on the other hand to be able to maintain accurately the position in space.

I think the Space Shuttle is worth one billion dollars a launch. I think that it is worth two billion dollars for what it does. I think the Shuttle is worth it for the work it does.

And of course, I absolutely loved making Lost in Space as a kid.

The views of the Earth are really beautiful. If you've ever seen a space IMAX movie, that's really what it looks like. I wish I'd had more time just to sit and look out the window with a map, but our science program kept us very busy in the lab most of the time.

And so, in case we have contingencies and things that we cannot accomplish within the duration of the space walk, we have a buffer, I mean, in order to be able to complete the... what we want to accomplish.

In the film, I'm not very mobile, like in the space suit.

Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion.

I think that somebody with the resources and innovation and the idea is going to come out of nowhere and come up with a successful space travel program.

But generally speaking, people weren't fired, art jobs were very hard to get, so something really calamitous had to happen to a person who was working there in order for you to find a space.

Creation is all space, all time - all things past, present, and future.

Cool things happen. Ace's guitar flies through space, goes through a hole, and blows up. I throw drumsticks and they come flying at you.

Firstly, people take for granted that the E.U. has created the biggest economic space in the world.

The novel is not so much a literary genre, but a literary space, like a sea that is filled by many rivers.

My place in Chicago is a 105 year old house, but I really like contemporary spaces too, so it's refreshing and fun to be in a space where you can do contemporary things.

Indeed, as the above calculation indicates, to take full advantage of the memory space available, the ultimate laptop must turn all its matter into energy.

Well, by the end of the millennium, five, six months from now, we hope to somehow manage to move into a new location where we have the whole building, so we can devote space to all our activities.
