The stratosphere is a hostile place.

Normally, when I skydive, even in winter, I wear very thin gloves. I want to be flexible, with fast reactions.

I've done a lot of things in a business where you're lucky to stay alive, so when the time comes, I'll be happy to pass my knowledge along and help someone else.

People should decide 'are you willing to spend all this money to go to Mars?' I think the average person on the ground would never spend that amount of money - they have to spend it on something that makes sense and this is definitely saving our planet.

I can't bear the thought of my mother having to push me around in a wheelchair. I'd rather die quickly.
