Humble beginnings
I grew up blue-collar, working class.
My family were mostly all manual workers.
Our whole neighborhood was not well off.
I didn’t miss anything at all, because I didn’t know better things existed.

The outside world didn’t come into my family very much.
The only way it came in was when I discovered our local library.
It transformed my life.

Space travel

I would go like a shot.
