I came from Iowa, south central Iowa. It was a very rural area. I saw a lot more hogs growing up than I saw people.

Even if my job for the day is cleaning the vents or fixing the toilet, it still feels good to be a part of the space program and advancing exploration.

You see billions and billions of stars and recognize that you know some of those have planets, too, and maybe there's life out there, and this is just one of billions of galaxies... and so it gives you this huge perspective of how far we potentially have to go for real exploration.

My desire to contribute to the spaceflight team as we move forward in our exploration of space has only increased over the years.

I love mixing and matching patterns, styles old and new, feminine and masculine and drawing inspiration from characters like Annie Hall.

Barbie has always been an inspiration. Dressing her was part of ever girl's dream.

My hope for my daughter is that she has the courage to at least try to do it all, to be kind to herself when it all doesn't come together perfectly, and to follow her dreams.

I don't believe in having one partner for your whole life, but I hope I get married. I want to have a husband and two kids and a nice little life baking pies. I'm quite romantic. It's definitely important to have someone make you feel special.
