We're not up there in space just to joyride around. We're up there to do things that are of value to everybody right here on Earth.
Space is not just going up and coming back down again. Space is getting into orbit and being there, living there, establishing a presence, a permanence.
I'm not going into infinity. I'm going into low earth orbit.
The sky above us is something we have very little control of, and the space beyond is something we don't completely understand.

No matter how far a person can go the horizon is still way beyond you.
