The first two missions have some test objectives, some new capabilities that we're going to try to develop on orbit to possibly be used on later flights. ↗

You're going very fast when you're on orbit, going around the world once every hour and a half. ↗

Then if your movie clicks with real audiences, you'll be sucked into some sort of Hollywood orbit. It's a devil of a place where the only religion that really counts is box office. ↗

For future exploration, when we have the objective of going to the Moon, it is important to have several possibilities to go there, and within this framework of cooperation to have our own access to orbit around the Moon. ↗

It definitely helps to have been through the arm training flow before and to have used the arm on orbit, and it also gives me the confidence to know that our training facilities are really good, that when you get up there, you feel like you've been there. ↗

Geological age plays the same part in our views of the duration of the universe as the Earth's orbital radius does in our views of the immensity of space. ↗

When you see the orbiter headed out the launch pad and then crawling up the hill and being hard down on the pad, it does something to you. ↗

I don't go along with going to Moon first to build a launch pad to go to Mars. We should go to Mars from Earth orbit. We have already been to the Moon; we've already practiced. ↗

It seems to me, thinking of it, that there must be some universal plan which set in motion the orbiting of the electrons about the nucleus and the slower, more majestic orbit of the galaxies about one another to the very edge of space. ↗

I live my life in growing orbits which move out over this wondrous world, I am circling around God, around ancient towers and i have been circling for a thousand years. And I still dont know if I am an eagle or a storm or a great song. ↗
