When young Donovan asked what the most surprising thing he has experienced in space, Fischer said, "You just get excited. I'm like a 12-year-old boy after a couple of cappuccinos because everything I see is so cool. Whether I'm working on the toilet or doing a space walk."

Fischer also told the kids that their generation will make it to Mars and tests on the space station for that mission will begin this week.
