Quotes by Franklin Chang Díaz (?)

“El sueño del vuelo espacial seguía gestándose mi mente y en muchas noches de introspección juvenil, antes de conciliar el sueño, me repetía a mí mismo que hasta ahora no había descubierto nada que me demostrara que mi meta me sería imposible. Por el momento, debía seguir viviendo mi vida presente. En cierto modo, mi entrenamiento ya había comenzado.”
― Franklin Chang Díaz, Los Primeros Años: Mis primeras aventuras en el planeta Tierra
