RAVENCLAW: "I think looking up is good. I think it inspires a person to think that their view is as important as someone else's view. That when they look up, nobody owns the stars. Nobody owns that universe. They own it for that moment they're looking at it. It's their world." –Roberta Bondar

So I'm performing a concert tonight with astronaut Dr. Roberta Bondar, the first Canadian woman in space, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her space flight. This piece, which features her poetry and space photography, has a simulated rocket launch in the middle of it and it makes me cry because I love space so much and it's so damn awesome. It's my headcanon that Kathryn Janeway has an old recording of it saved on her PADD. Probably Jim Kirk, too.

RAVENCLAW: "I've always said, this passion is great but you have to have a strategy to put it in place afterwards... we need to have that something to inspire us to be able to go the next step, from curiosity to creativity." –Roberta Bondar

SLYTHERIN: "Going to space was a moment that people think was my Mount Everest, but it's not. I have so many Mount Everests. This just happens to be one of them. It has changed the way I approach things. I realize it's not about me; it's about what I did and about the person we had as a Canadian woman in space. I look at pictures of myself and say, 'That's the woman who did it'." –Roberta Bondar
