The view from space is like having a globe on your desk -- it's a broadening experience.

When we set out to land people on the surface of Mars, I think we should as a nation, as a world, commit ourselves to supporting a growing settlement and colonization there. To visit a few times and then withdraw would be an unforgivable waste of resources.

Is the destiny of the human species to sit back and play with our mouse and computer and imagine, fantasize?
Buzz Aldrin
Image
Exploration is wired into our brains. If we can see the horizon, we want to know what's beyond.

When I am getting ready to cross a street, I look both ways before crossing. My bones, my muscles, are not what they used to be, so I am careful when I go up and down stairs, because I've heard stories of older people falling and having very disabling injuries.

There are a lot of reasons for not doing something. And if humanity had come up with all the reasons for not doing something we wouldn't have spread across the Earth the way we have. There's a curiosity, and I would submit that that curiosity will put human beings on the surface of Mars.

By venturing into space, we improve life for everyone here on Earth - scientific advances and innovations that come from this kind of research create products we use in our daily lives.

Most people never believed in the real possibility of going to the moon, and neither did I until I was in my twenties.

History will remember the inhabitants of this century as the people who went from Kitty Hawk to the moon in 66 years, only to languish for the next 30 in low Earth orbit. At the core of the risk-free society is a self-indulgent failure of nerve.

The moon I see now is the same moon I saw before. Except that before, when I looked at it, it was in anticipation of what it would be like when I got there. That's behind me now.

I've been to the Titanic in a yellow submarine and the North Pole in a Russian nuclear ice breaker.

I suggest that going to Mars means permanence on the planet - a mission by which we are building up a confidence level to become a two-planet species.
