Ellen Ochoa Astronaut Quotations

Being an astronaut is a wonderful career. I feel very privileged. But what I really hope for young people is that they find a career they're passionate about, something that's challenging and worthwhile.

Astronauts are very professional and when they're preparing for launch, they prepare for it as the most serious endeavor of our lives.

This was the last astronaut job that was not (yet) done by a woman. Now with this milestone we can focus on the fact that what is important to succeed in life, it does not matter whether you are a man or a woman.
