~ Scott Kelly

I'm always involved with the Aerospace Program and NASA and Goddard Space Flight Center.

Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, allowing us to do things more quickly and efficiently.

~ James Surowiecki

We should've asked China to be a portion of the space station. We should've worked out ways that we can... just give away the technology that we have that puts things up into space, with cooperation up above the atmosphere that's needed to help each other.

~ Buzz Aldrin

Space travel is the only technology that is more dangerous and more expensive now than it was in its first year. Fifty years after Yuri Gagarin, the space shuttle ended up being more dangerous and more expensive to fly than those first throwaway rockets, even though large portions of it were reusable. It's absurd.

~ Burt Rutan
