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.

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.

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