Although I know a lot of the previous shuttle flights, in theory, had their tasks laid out; but there were still some changes that came along for them. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
As always, we prepare for all sorts of contingencies. And the first few days of the flight up until docking on Day 3 are all spent really in the rendezvous because we launch at a time that puts us in an optimal position to catch up to station. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
I did grow up with a really big interest in math and science; I liked it. - Linda M Godwin Quotes

I was interested in NASA, but I never thought it was something I could do, but I imagine that it fueled an interest in the science that I had already. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
Ill be the person using the shuttle robotic arm. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
Ive been much more involved in the rendezvous training for this mission than I was on the rendezvous that we trained to do to go to Mir. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
In the Astronaut Office were never totally out of training, we always keep our hand in it. But after five years, things have changed and so its been good to get back into the flow and relearn a lot of things. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
It definitely helps to have been through the arm training flow before and to have used the arm on orbit, and it also gives me the confidence to know that our training facilities are really good, that when you get up there, you feel like youve been there. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
It is a very busy mission: every day has some major goals that we have to get through, but my experience before has been that at least in the evening, you kind of take a deep breath and look around where you are and have some downtime. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
Its really a good feeling to know that we put this up there, that its working, that all these peoples plans that worked so hard came together and things fit and weve got a real space station. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
Its really kind of a challenge to keep coordinated with the two station crews that well be interacting with. And of course one of them launched quite some time before our mission. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
Its very important to know that we packed it right because it is a safety issue for coming home. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
Our flight was always designated as some Launch On Need or flexible mission to meet the maintenance needs of station, all the way along. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
Our shuttle crew is four people, because were going to transfer a crew up to station, so all the jobs are divided between four people rather than five or six people. So its been busy. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
The training comes to us with the benefit of what has gone before. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
There is an S-band antenna assembly out there that probably will be powered down, because we get pretty close to that and we dont want that to be on. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
Theres a lot of interest from the medical community on how things develop in microgravity, and the hope, later, that is expected to apply to what the changes are in humans as well. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
This has been a big year in terms of adding robotic capability, adding more living space, and now finally to where were adding more science. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
UF is Utilization Flight. That got put in the manifest quite some time ago. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
We didnt use the shuttle robot arm before, so this has been a training flow to get ready for that. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
We launch when were kind of in the same orbit that they are in terms of being matched up in inclination in space, and were just in a little different altitude. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
We still have a lot of international partner modules that need to get up there to make it truly the international structure that it will be, and thats highly important; we need to get to where the crew size is bigger. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
Were going to get some tools out and help out the 8A guys a little bit, bring them in so they dont have to visit a couple of the toolboxes. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
Were on the same radius from the Earth, and then we start to swing around to where were ahead of them on the velocity vector, so we come in relative to the station from this forward velocity position and dock on to the forward end of the Lab. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
Were taking up some science experiments, some crystal growth things, we have a refrigerator that carries up some samples, new samples that go into the station, we bring the old ones home; we have a lot of clothing, we have a lot of food-U.S. and Russian food. - Linda M Godwin Quotes
