Hello from above our magnificent planet Earth.

I'm excited to be a test subject because I think that's how we get answers-by studying people.

I have a computer screen near my seat where I monitor the overall health of the vehicle and pick up any problems that might be occurring early on or once we see any kind of a malfunction or anything unusual that's happening, we can look at the data and figure out what that is.

Very soon after we get on to orbit, Ilan and I will activate the Spacehab, which is the laboratory back in our payload bay where we'll be doing most of the different science that we're doing.

A piña colada would have been really nice, ... It was warmer, but we all got along just fine.

We trained for a lot more malfunctions than any ever happen.

I feel blessed to be here representing our country and carrying out th research of scientists around the world... I hope you could feel the positive energy that beamed to the whole planet as we glided over.

I was very interested in environment, ecosystems and animals. That eventually shone through in my interests in zoology as an undergraduate. Then I decided to pursue medicine. I joined the Navy, working on submarines and learning about radiation medicine.

Some things are only capable of being done in space. Examples of that are looking at our Earth from that far away, and understanding the entire processes of storms and weather patterns, and oceans, and coastlines.

We're also doing some of the same plant experiments. Looking at gene transfer... what equipment is going, what small changes there are in microgravity that we didn't anticipate.

Things are going very smoothly. As expected, there are some minor glitches, and the eight minutes that it took us to get to orbit, we trained months and months for, and didn't have to use any of that preparation, other than being aware and ready.

We're doing some early science on that very first day. We can't do any of that until Spacehab is activated. We do fairly simple things like turning on the lights and converting the power source from a source that's from the Orbiter to converters that are active within the laboratory itself.

There are some very significant changes in the way the fluids are distributed in our body, the way our heart functions initially, and as well as our bone and muscle.

Gravity is one variable in a lot of scientific processes. If you can remove gravity or minimize its effect, then you can understand the other processes that are going on.

If you're trying to get someone who's sick with a fever off of a submarine and it's cold and raining outside, the only way in and out of a submarine, generally, is through a fairly narrow hatch.

Everyone that I've talked to who's been to space has thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and what you often hear them say is: It was great, but we just had to come home.

The Navy's paid for you to go through school, and then they need doctors to go out and take care of people who are in various different parts of the world. I decided to pay back my time first as an undersea medical officer. I was stationed in Scotland.

The microgravity or the very, very low amount of gravity that we have up in space forces some changes in different processes. It forces changes in us as human beings.

When you talk to crews that went to Mir or have gone up to International Space Station, they say that you go through different phases of adaptation or getting used to the space environment.

The bioreactor was developed to be a rotating tissue cell culture chamber. They're growing cells. And there are ways that they can grow the cells here on Earth, but they still are able to grow much better cell cultures or tissues in microgravity than they can on Earth.
