"Rockets are cool. There's no getting around that."
"Some facts have been explored at deeper level others not... but still there will come one question probably you will thought that what you see outside of the Earth I mean in the space... that's all... but unfortunately, it's not all there is more and more out there!"
"Mars is the only place in the solar system where it's possible for life to become multi-planetarian."
"You need to be in the position where it is the cost of the fuel that actually matters and not the cost of building the rocket in the first place."
"There was a space program before there was integrated circuits."
"What I didn't know was I was deeply attracted to the big space."
"I mean simply to say that I want my characters to suggest the background in themselves, even when it is not visible. I want them to be so powerfully realized that we cannot imagine them apart from their physical and social context even when we see them in empty space."
"The revolutionary breakthrough will come with rockets that are fully and rapidly reusable. We will never conquer Mars unless we do that. It'll be too expensive. The American colonies would never have been pioneered if the ships that crossed the ocean hadn't been reusable."
"Proxemics is the study of human use of space and the effects that population density has on behavior, social interaction, and communication. Imagine invisible bubbles around every person that provides each of us with comfort zones for social engagement and interaction."

"The pressure suit helps if something goes wrong during launch or re-entry - astronauts have a way to parachute off the shuttle. The suits protect you from loss of pressure in case of emergency."
"Well, we spend an awful lot of our time working and doing experiments. It's very busy up on the shuttle."
"The astronauts who came in with me in my astronaut class - my class had 29 men and 6 women - those men were all very used to working with women."
"I liked math - that was my favorite subject - and I was very interested in astronomy and in physical science."
"So most astronauts getting ready to lift off are excited and very anxious and worried about that explosion - because if something goes wrong in the first seconds of launch, there's not very much you can do."
"Some astronauts sleep in sort of beds - compartments that you can open up and crawl into and then close up, almost like a little bedroom."
