Mann said she's always heeded her mother's advice on the importance of positive energy, especially on launch day. “What that does is it just highlights our diversity and how incredible it is when we come together as a human species, the wonderful things that we can do and that we can accomplish,” she said.
As for describing Earth from space, “the emotions are absolutely overwhelming,” she said."It is an incredible scene of color, of clouds and land, and it’s difficult not to stay in the cupola all day and just see our planet Earth and how beautiful she is, and how delicate and fragile she is against the blackest of black that I’ve ever seen — space — in the background.”
