I hope that’s yet to come. My Oscar? That was a combination of Holly Hunter being an amazing actress, Jane being an extraordinary director and me being in the right place at the right time. I had no idea what I was doing. It’s given me this amazing life, but it’s not the highlight of my career.

Doing the spacewalk to fix a solar panel at the furthest edge of the ISS. You have no idea if you are going to get a chance to do a spacewalk when you go into space. I was fortunate. There’s a real juxtaposition between floating, completely serene and calm, looking down at Earth and the universe, and being aware that you are in this hostile environment.
