Quote

Returning to the Moon with NASA astronauts is not the best usage of our resources. Because OUR resources should be directed to outward, beyond-the-moon, to establishing habitation and laboratories on the surface of Mars that can be built, assembled, from the close-by moons of Mars.

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

Don't waste your time on beaming people up or down. Instead, consider gravity waves as advanced physics of the universe that could be used to travel interstellar distances.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
We feel that this stands as a symbol of the insatiable curiosity of all mankind to explore the unknown.

They didn’t tell me I was going into space until after they locked the shuttle doors and started counting down.

I don't think we're going to build a 50-person spacecraft or a 100-person spacecraft.

To send humans back to the moon would not be advancing. It would be more than 50 years after the first moon landing when we got there, and we'd probably be welcomed by the Chinese. But we should return to the moon without astronauts and build, with robots, an international lunar base, so that we know how to build a base on Mars robotically.

'Anthony and the Magic Picture Frame' tells it like it really was in America's early space program - the adventure, the risks, and the rewards.

Mars is there, waiting to be reached.

I want to keep on the move, keep stimulated and challenged.

Trips to Mars, the Moon, even orbit, will require that we provide astrotourists with as many comforts from home as possible, including paying each other.

You can never tell when a commercial space venture will suddenly become viable.

I failed music when I was a teenager.

Exploring and colonizing Mars can bring us new scientific understanding of climate change, of how planet-wide processes can make a warm and wet world into a barren landscape. By exploring and understanding Mars, we may gain key insights into the past and future of our own world.

For the future, primarily, we must educate people in science, engineering, technology and math.

Timing has always been a key element in my life. I have been blessed to have been in the right place at the right time.

Heavy lifting doesn't need to be heavy spending if we do the job right.

Any observations from the Moon or a sense of realising this or that about the greater meaning of things wasn't as influential for me as the experience of coming back and dealing with being a person who's been to the Moon.

Look at what Silicon Valley has done - the advance of computers.

We need to begin thinking about building permanence on the Red Planet, not just have voyagers do some experiments, plant a flag and claim success. Having them go there, repeat this, in my view, is dim-witted. Why not stay there?

I think the people who experienced the Apollo missions came away from that experience wondering to themselves, 'When can we get a chance to experience spaceflight?' I've heard that many, many times: that people got into a new career field hoping that they would be able to experience spaceflight.
