Quote

I want people to go into space, to orbit around the world a few times, even to stay there for 24 hours and then come back to where they took off. And I also want people with a low income to be able to do that, not only rich people.

Mars is far more attractive as an outpost colony for earthlings than the moon is.

My favourite thing to do on this planet is to scuba dive.

Going back to the moon is not visionary in restoring space leadership for America. Like its Apollo predecessor, it will prove to be a dead end littered with broken spacecraft, broken dreams and broken policies.

History gets reinterpreted as time goes on. Many times, the participants are lost in the retelling of the story.

As someone who flew two space capsules and twice landed in the ocean, I can attest from personal experience how much logistics work is needed to get you home.

America can take man to the moon, and America can take men to Mars - and beyond.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
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.

Ray Bradbury is one who is contributing to the understanding of the imagination and the curiosity of the human race.

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.

I think both the space shuttle program and the International Space Station program have not really lived up to their expectations.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
Instead of planning the retirement of the Space Shuttle program, America should be preparing the shuttles for their next step in space: evolving, not shutting them down and laying off thousands of people.

Mars has a bit of air pressure maybe we can build up that atmosphere to be a bit more accommodating to humans.
