There are improbable things suspended in space, like the earth.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Some things are only capable of being done in space. Examples of that are looking at our Earth from that far away, and understanding the entire processes of storms and weather patterns, and oceans, and coastlines.
Space is certainly something more complicated than the average person would probably realize. Space is not just an empty background in which things happen.
Space is an inspirational concept that allows you to dream big.
I've put a lot of my life into making it possible to fly in space at all.
Now, what space ultimately is - I should confess, I think most physicists believe - we don't yet know.
Space is the breath of art.
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 don't think we're wasting people in space.
There is good science you can do in space. There is stuff there you cannot do on Earth and we can gain understanding from it.
We don't have the capability today to put a human being in space of any kind, shape or form, which is absolutely, totally unacceptable when we got the greatest flying machine in the world sitting down at Kennedy in a garage there with nothing to do.
