For me, the most powerful, unique and memorable feeling in space flight is the physical freedom of weightlessness, which is an utter delight. My favourite recreational activity in orbit was just to float freely and let every muscle in my body become totally relaxed, so much so that I often lost the sensation of having any body at all. I see the experience as more than just physical: it has psychological, emotional and even spiritual dimensions. Have you ever dreamed of flying? In space you can do it! Weightlessness gives you a wonderful sense of freedom, an ability to do outrageous things barely imaginable back on Earth. The joy of weightlessness is one of the main reasons I believe that humanity has a future in space.
