I think a lot of the American people feel more than a little disappointed that the high-water mark for human exploration was 1969. The dream of human space travel has almost died for a lot of people.
On Earth, men are seen as superior because of their physical strength, but it means nothing in space, where there is no gravity.
Different strikers are happy when they score but you have to think about the team – the assist and movements which can give space for your team mates. You can never quit. It’s teamwork.
I think that the ideal space must contain elements of magic, serenity, sorcery and mystery.
The Hubble Space Telescope, which was designed for extreme servicing, you know, we can fix everything. And the James Webb Space Telescope, where we can fix nothing. It has to work the first time. And it’s a very complicated telescope.
When you face obstacles or go through different phases, I always relied on my music. I depend on my music, my teammates. So at the end of the day, having incredible music, for me, would keep me in the space I want to be as an artist.
I’ve discovered that half the people would love to go into space and there’s no need to explain it to them. The other half can’t understand and I couldn’t explain it to them. If someone doesn’t know why, I can’t explain it.
The space shuttle was often used as an example of why you shouldn’t even attempt to make something reusable. But one failed experiment does not invalidate the greater goal. If that was the case, we’d never have had the light bulb.
An optimist is a driver who thinks that empty space at the curb won’t have a hydrant beside it.
The Hubble Space Telescope is more than remarkable. It has answered just so many of those fundamental questions that people have been asking about the cosmos since people were able to ask questions.
Space has always been confusing to politics.
New Jersey makes important contributions to the space program. We want to make sure it just doesn’t happen in Houston.
I love working at NASA, but the part that has been the most satisfying on a day-to-day basis, hour-to-hour, minute-to-minute, has been working on board the space station. Even if I’m just cleaning the vents in the fans, it all is important.
Although we are busy with our own work, we still try and spend time together. At the same time, we give each other space. I think that is the key to a successful marriage.
I just downloaded ‘1984’ for my iPod, but I’ve read that before. It just hearkens back to the ‘romance’ of my high-school days. I really liked the space I was in when I was reading it.
The main goal of the International Space Station is to work on peaceful projects. In space, we’re all people from Earth.
I try to space out my films.
I do strive to find projects that are trying to carve out some new space. I enjoy projects that leap away from the crowd a little bit.
There’s always space for me to grow and I think that experimenting and making mistakes is gonna get me to this position where I’m trying to be is always changing.
My obsession with outer space is my way of being different. I make astronaut music. It takes an astronaut so long to get to space – that’s how long it takes to catch up on my music.
We’d never have got a chance to go outside and look at the earth if it hadn’t been for space exploration and NASA.
When I came into stand-up, I found a certain safe space of intellectualism, of camaraderie, of excellence that really has always been natural to me but always felt foreign in the other spaces I’ve been in.
After the Challenger accident, NASA put in a lot of time to improve the safety of the space shuttle to fix the things that had gone wrong.
My brain is just so busy. I’m inattentive; I’m a daydreamer: the space cadet kind.
The kitchen is a sacred space.
