People make their own fates, and if enough of us make our fate to be space explorers, perhaps we can actually get some space exploration done.

We're not passengers on Spaceship Earth. We're the crew.

To try to really land a spacecraft really on another world is really difficult, and if we lose that ability, it's going to be heartbreaking.

There are no passengers on spaceship earth. We are all crew.

After assembly complete, when we have a larger crew on orbit, a more complex vehicle, more laboratories and more robot arms, maybe we'll have room for specialists. But right now we don't.

I don't think we're going to build a 50-person spacecraft or a 100-person spacecraft.

Space travel for everyone is the next frontier in the human experience.

I am excited to think that the development of commercial capabilities to send humans into low Earth orbit will likely result in so many more Earthlings being able to experience the transformative power of space flight.

Not everyone will understand this need for America to lead the world in space.

Look how far the human race has come in terms of air and space travel in the last hundred years. So in the next couple of thousand years, you've got to believe that we're going to be able to do all kinds of amazing things.
