“She always said that I was going well,” added Gayle. “And Oprah knows things.”
Meanwhile, Gayle’s initial hesitation on the trip was well known – so well, in fact, that her facial expression when she went up in the spacecraft caused a viral internet meme.
“At that time, I was so afraid, I just wanted to enter my seat because I just wanted to let the training launch,” she said at a press conference after the short flight. “I just wanted to enter the capsule and sit down, so the walking process was a little intimidating for me.”
But a little apprehension was not enough to dissuade Gayle from shirking.
“I knew I was still going to do it,” she said during a Oprah every day Interview on April 14. “Although, we were told:” If you are going to go back, you have to do it for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. You must say: “I’m not going to fly”. But downstream, it was a bit scary.
