 I grew up wanting to go to space. I wanted to be an astronaut. I was about seven, eight years old that I drew this picture. And from Iran, I was born in Iran, a place that didn't have a space program. No one took me seriously. But I knew I would make it happen. No one behold, 2006, I did it. I went to space. This journey's been wonderful. As a young child, I would sleep outside, summer nights in my grandparents' balcony, and I would gaze at the night skies. I would look at the stars and wonder, what's out there? Are there other beings out there? It was sort of a place I could let my imagination go wild and look up there and imagine new worlds. Imagination is a very, very unique gift we have as human beings. And as we grow up, we forget about it. You can make the future whatever you want it to be. So you can imagine your future.
