I am Eagle! I am Eagle!

I feel fine. How about you?

I see Earth! It is so beautiful.

I see Earth! It is so beautiful!

I love Star City - it is my home.

I could see Armstrong bouncing on the moon

Hey sky, take off your hat, I'm on my way!

I am very resourceful, as any woman would be.

The Retrofire rockets seem to be responding well

Without women, we stood in space on one leg only.

The Earth is blue... how wonderful. It is amazing

I could have gone on flying through space forever.

In space everything is different, you sleep on the ceiling.

I am high in the sky, and still I do not see the face of god.

You don't think about the danger. The spaceship becomes your home.

Cosmonauts can keep their word like men and women - particularly women.

If women can be railroad workers in Russia, why can't they fly in space?

Once you've been in space, you appreciate how small and fragile the Earth is.

After being once in space, I was keen to go back there. But it didn't happen.

I believe I never knew what the word round meant until I saw Earth from space.

It is difficult to express in words the feelings of happiness and pride which fill me.

If all those people are getting wet to welcome me, surely the least I can do is get wet too!

I don't believe in God. I believe in man -- in his strength, his possibilities, and his reason.

It doesn't matter what country or what political system you are from. Space brings you together.

On Earth, men and women are taking the same risks. Why shouldn't we be taking the same risks in space?

I see the horizon. A light blue, a beautiful band. This is the Earth. How beautiful it is! All goes well.

Looking at the earth from afar you realize it is too small for conflict and just big enough for co-operation.

I am watching the Earth. The visibility is good. I feel well and cheerful. The machine is functioning normally.

Spring One. Spring One. I am Eagle. I am Eagle. I can hear you very well. I feel excellent. My feeling is excellent.

It's a pity I flew only once. A space flight is like a drug - once you experience it, you can't think of anything else.

I wasn't a very convenient person for the leadership. I had my own opinion about things and knew how to insist on this.

I never aimed to be on television or in the press. We all have a personal life, and being a public figure disrupts that.

Anyone who has spent any time in space will love it for the rest of their lives. I achieved my childhood dream of the sky.

A bird cannot fly with one wing only. Human space flight cannot develop any further without the active participation of women.

We were young, we were pilots, and we were hungry to test the new technology of 'space machines.' And we all wanted to be first.

To be the first to enter the cosmos, to engage, single-handed, in an unprecedented duel with nature-could one dream of anything more?

I am convinced that the modular structure of the Mir will be the main trend in manned orbital stations development in the next century

I am convinced that the modular structure of the Mir will be the main trend in manned orbital stations development in the next century.

I would enjoy flying to Mars. This was the dream of the first cosmonauts. I wish I could realize it! I am ready to fly without coming back.

One cannot deny the great role women have played in the world community. My flight was yet another impetus to continue this female contribution.

We thought our careers as cosmonauts - we were young then - would end with a flight to Mars. But, you see, life has made some course corrections.

More women should actively participate in space flight. There are many well educated women working in the space industry; they are very good candidates.

They forbade me from flying, despite all my protests and arguments. After being once in space, I was desperately keen to go back there. But it didn't happen.

Circling the earth in the orbital spaceship I marvelled at the beauty of our planet. People of the world!! Let us safeguard and enhance this beauty-not destroy it

When I orbited the Earth in a spaceship, I saw for the first time how beautiful our planet is. Mankind, let us preserve and increase this beauty, and not destroy it!

We didn't have rest days or weekends because we had to get ready as fast as possible, so we could beat the Americans, who were also racing to send a woman into space.

To tell her that I joined the parachute club was too hard for me. I didn't want to trouble her; besides, I was not completely sure about the success of my new adventure.

Of course, it's a dream to go to Mars. I want to find out whether there was life there or not. And if there was, then why did it die out? What sort of catastrophe happened?

The path of a cosmonaut is not an easy, triumphant march to glory. You have to get to know the meaning not just of joy but also of grief, before being allowed in the spacecraft cabin.

The missing toothbrush was nothing compared with the fact that the spacecraft was orientated to ascend, not descend. I would have gone up and up instead of going back down to the ground.
