I love Star City - it is my home.

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

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.

I am very resourceful, as any woman would be.

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.

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.
