One thing that flying in space does for you is it gives you a change in perspective. We all have to live in the same place.

On my first flight, I don't know if maybe it's a function of time, or if I was less stressed on my second flight, but just being able to tell what part of the planet we were flying over by the reflected light coming through the window - that was pretty special.

I think the legacy of the space station will be that we can do something this technically complex in an international way.
