"The view of the Earth is what gets you, particularly from a space walk, not looking through a window. You're just out there in your little bubble of a helmet. You can see everything, and the planet is this gigantic round thing, it takes up your full view. It's this big round thing that's up there. It's a planet out there in all this chaos. I can turn my head and see the Moon, and I can turn my head and see the stars..."

"The coolest thing for me is the experience of floating, not feeling my weight, and hanging by a window, just after sunset, and watch the stars in the big black dome of the sky, as the Earth moves underneath. I somehow try to find 10 - 15 minutes every day to do that. I think most mornings I try to continue to postpone my meals so I can do that. It's kind of fun because I have to watch where the food is going because my eyes are really glued to the outside. It is just absolutely amazing, magical, wonderful feeling to do that."
-Dr Kalpana Chawla, Shuttle Columbia STS-107, CSPAN interview from space

"She loved looking at the Earth and at the stars. She said the stars from space are unbelievable, because it's just so much brighter."
-brother of Dr Laurel Clark, Shuttle Columbia STS-107, CNN interview

"We were never able to see stars from the Lunar surface or on the daylight side of the Moon, by eye, without looking through the optics, I don't recall..."
-Lt Neil Armstrong, Apollo 11 press conference
