Canadian astronaut Roberta Bondar made the statement "it's great going and looking at the earth, but all I could think of was getting back and having a glass of cold skim milk" after a space mission. This statement suggests that Bondar enjoyed the experience of being in space and seeing the Earth from above, but that she was also looking forward to returning home and enjoying a simple pleasure, such as a glass of cold skim milk. Bondar's statement highlights the human desire for familiarity and comfort, even in the midst of extraordinary experiences.
