Space is as infinite as we can imagine, and expanding this perspective is what adjusts humankind focus on conquering our true enemies, the formidable foes: ignorance and limitation.

We must still think of ourselves as pioneers to understand the importance of space.

The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it too much.

Space is the breath of art.

Space offers extraordinary potential for commerce and adventure, for new innovations and new tests of will. As Americans, we can't help but reach for the stars. It's our nature. It's our destiny.

I think space will be conquered through the mind rather than the clumsy medium of space travel.

Once you've been in space, you appreciate how small and fragile the Earth is.

Space or science fiction has become a dialect for our time.

Space exploration is a force of nature unto itself that no other force in society can rival.

I think the crux of the matter was that if we were going to become partners in, for example, the International Space Station, we had to gain the respect of a country like the United States and particularly its space organization, NASA.
