People need to be made conscious of a very simple reality: we have no choice but to share this planet, this small blue sphere floating in the vast reaches of space, with all of our fellow 'passengers.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We must develop a deeper interest and greater understanding of the people we meet here or abroad. Like us, they are passengers on board that mysterious ship called life.
The idea that we're somehow centrally important to the planet's existence is pretty comical - although I'd like us to be.
Space travel for everyone is the next frontier in the human experience.
We must still think of ourselves as pioneers to understand the importance of space.
In spite of the opinions of certain narrow-minded people, who would shut up the human race upon this globe, as within some magic circle it must never outstep, we shall one day travel to the moon, the planets, and the stars, with the same facility, rapidity, and certainty as we now make the voyage from Liverpool to New York!
The bottom line is: We must be working on arriving at the destination for which we were put on this planet.
We're not passengers on Spaceship Earth. We're the crew.
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.
NASA should start thinking about this planet.
We all have as much right to take up our space in the world as one another.
