Leroy Chiao Quotes

I hope that China will continue with space exploration. It would be logical to have international co-operation. I hope that it will come about and that I can be involved in it Picture Quote #1
I think it’s good to have competition. Now we have a third country that can launch astronauts, so it’s good for all of us. It makes us a little bit more competitive and wanting to be the leader Picture Quote #1
Coming down under a parachute is quite different as well. You hit the ground pretty hard, but all the systems work very well to keep it from hurting, so it doesn’t even hurt when you hit. It was a great experience to be able to do both Picture Quote #1
But a lot of that kind of work is done pre-flight, coordinating efforts with the flight directors and the ground teams, and figuring out how you’re going to operate together Picture Quote #1
The most interesting thing was looking out the window and taking photographs of different places on Earth Picture Quote #1
I would say keep supporting space flight, keep telling the public and the politicians why it’s important to advance science and explore the galaxy. I encourage the Japanese to keep doing what they’re doing Picture Quote #1

Our task was doing maintenance and repairs to keep the station in a good state for the return of the shuttle flights and resumption of major ISS construction Picture Quote #1
One of my challenges was to try to photograph the Great Wall of China. And I did actually take some photos, but it was hard to discern the wall with the naked eye Picture Quote #1
I’m Chinese-American, of course, and so it’s very interesting to see China actually launch their own astronauts, becoming the third nation, following the United States and Russia, to do so Picture Quote #1
I spent a lot of my time working in the American module, and he would stay in the Russian segment working on his things, and we’d meet up at meal times. So it actually worked out very well Picture Quote #1

There were different challenges along the way. Certainly the food shortage was unpleasant Picture Quote #1
Space is very unforgiving business Picture Quote #1
One day, people will be able to buy tickets to visit space Picture Quote #1
I loved flying as much as I thought I would and continue to fly aircraft Picture Quote #1

As commander I was responsible for the overall success of the mission, and so I had to know at least a little bit about everything Picture Quote #1
Tinkering is something we need to know how to do in order to keep something like the space station running. I am a tinkerer by nature Picture Quote #1
There is no one area of chemical engineering that specifically helped me in my career as an astronaut, it was more the general education in engineering. Also, it was a very difficult and rigorous course. So, it made me strong and resourceful Picture Quote #1
Of course, you’ll have to meet the physical and psychological demands. A space walk takes a lot of energy Picture Quote #1
I think it’s good to have competition. Now we have a third country that can launch astronauts, so it’s good for all of us. It makes us a little bit more competitive and wanting to be the leader Picture Quote #1
I had done everything I could do as an astronaut, and we have a long line of inexperienced astronauts waiting for their first missions, and so my role really should be to step aside and help them prepare for their missions, rather than to try to get another mission Picture Quote #1
