Whatever they were looking for,they were explorers. And we still have people today thatlike to do that. For me, it’s almost a need to explore.’Collins has inspired other women who dream ofbecoming astronauts. She once said, ‘‘Whether yourcommander is a man or a woman doesn’t really matterwhen it comes to getting your mission done.’’Photo by Alexander Mokletsov, RIANovosti archive, via Wikimedia CommonsBy 2006, she had retired from both the U.S Air Forceand NASA to spend more time with her family.
