I was a kid in a candy store. I hit my head to the top of the other module and then I was somersaulting. All the things they told you not to do at the beginning of being in space. Did you did all the motion sickness eventually go away? Yes, I had to get a shot. So one regret I have is the first two days inside the capsule. But by the time we got to the space station, I was adjusted. I was ready. I was excited. The most successful people on the planet are their Mindset. It isn't the money they have; it's the way they process information and see the world.
