When you look at the... atmosphere on the limb of the Earth, I wouldn't say it looks unhealthy, but it definitely looks very, very fragile and just kind of like this thin film, so it looks like something that we definitely need to take care of.

From Scott Kelly

As far as whether there is life there on Mars or whether there was actually ever life there, I don't know. It would be great to find out, though.

From Scott Kelly

If you go on a journey to Mars and get into deep space, there is several hundred times, maybe 300 times the radiation.

From Scott Kelly

If we're going to go farther from Earth, to Mars or somewhere else someday, we have to have a good understanding of the psychological impact on people. And not only psychologically, but how it affects their cognition. We're doing a lot of research on my cognitive abilities.

From Scott Kelly

It's a combination of science, maintenance, and general housekeeping. And then, occasionally, robotics activities or a spacewalk you might get to do.

From Scott Kelly

There's certainly a loss of connection with folks on the ground who I care for and love and I want to spend time with.

From Scott Kelly

This is a really big space station. We do a lot of various kinds of work here, different kinds of science experiments; we have over 400 different experiments going on at any one time in different areas, from basic science research to medical technology, that hopefully will benefit more people on Earth.

From Scott Kelly

A lot of the data we collect is stuff that has to be analyzed on the ground. For instance, we can't see, you know, bone loss. Our cells, you know, that's something that we'll have to notice with imaging technology when I get back.

From Scott Kelly

The thing I like most about flying in space is not the view. The thing I like about it is doing something I feel very, very strongly about.

From Scott Kelly

The planet will get better; it's us that won't be here because we'll destroy the environment.
