I’m scared of what NASA and everybody else in the world is going to try to tell me I can’t do once I’m a mother. ‘How can you leave your child at home while you’re in space,’ even though fathers have been doing it for, let’s see, over two decades. ‘Should mothers even be in space?’ ‘Who takes care of your child when you’re at work?’ That I’m scared about. But I’m not scared of being a mother.” “Why not?” Joan asked her. “Because it feels good to love someone,” Donna said. “It feels better than anything on this Earth. And I bet better than anything up there.”
