Why not a space flower? Why do we always expect metal ships?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.
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.
Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into.
Sending people into space is very important culturally. That's really the justification. You cannot rationally justify it on the basis of the science and technology we get out of it.
There are always flowers for those who want to see them.
Well, you know, 'Spaceballs' is a weird combination, because it's a simple, sweet little fairytale, and it's crazy and out-there and making fun of and taking apart sci-fi, 'Star Wars', and 'Star Trek'.
I want my flowers while I'm alive.
The ability of the humans to not only function in space but be very functional when they arrive at their destination, those are the kinds of things we're learning from the science. Fuel transfer technologies and all the things we can learn about the space environment are all valuable to us for pressing on out.
You don't go into space just for the science. Economically, it is not worth it. I think the reason we should be in space is for the exploration; it's the human endeavour.
A ship is always referred to as 'she' because it costs so much to keep one in paint and powder.
