               Quotes by Sunita Williams

1. I wanted to be a veterinarian and go to school in Boston. It didn't quite work out that way, and I ended up joining the Navy as a suggestion of my big brother. It was really awesome - and I didn't realize it at the time, -but provided a lot of leadership and followership teamwork opportunities. - 

2. Space is Absolutely a 3-D world in comparison to our 2-D on Earth

3. We really have the most beautiful planet in our solar system. None other can sustain life like we know it. None other has blue water and white clouds covering colorful landmasses filled with thriving, beautiful, living things like human beings.

4. Planets look about the same here as they do to you on the Earth because we really aren't that much closer. Our home, the International Space Station, orbits around the Earth at about 200 miles. -

5. Don't get bogged down by the notion of limits. There aren't any. "The Astronaut Who Brought Samosas Into Space".
