Закладка:
Хотя я и не стала космонавтом (частично из-за того, что у меня недостаточно хорошее зрение, чтобы управлять реактивным самолетом), я пошла по ее стопам и поступила на инженерный факультет, а потом стала астрофизиком. Но больше всего я благодарна ей за то, что влюбилась в космос – навсегда. Спасибо тебе, Жюли.
Я надеюсь, дорогие читатели, что вы любите космос так же, как я, и что вам понравилось путешествовать со мной по всему миру и за его пределы, далеко вглубь Вселенной. И еще я надеюсь, что эта книга подвигнет молодых людей, прочитавших ее, уйти с головой в выбранную для себя область науки. Потому что нам нужны люди, которые не останавливаются и движутся вперед.
А особенно нам нужны люди, которые время от времени хотят поднять глаза и посмотреть вверх.
