‘For the wise man looks into space and he knows there is no limited dimensions.’ – Zhuangzi

‘Modern science says: ‘The sun is the past, the earth is the present, the moon is the future.’ From an incandescent mass we have originated, and into a frozen mass we shall turn. Merciless is the law of nature, and rapidly and irresistibly we are drawn to our doom.’ – Nikola Tesla

‘I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.’ – Jack London

‘Sometimes I think we’re alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we’re not. In either case the idea is quite staggering.’ – Arthur C. Clarke

‘We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.’ – Stephen Hawking

‘Space is to place as eternity is to time.’ – Joseph Joubert

‘There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition.’ – Rod Serling

‘What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves? This is the most important of all voyages of discovery, and without it, all the rest are not only useless, but disastrous.’ – Thomas Merton

‘You cannot look up at the night sky on the Planet Earth and not wonder what it’s like to be up there amongst the stars. And I always look up at the moon and see it as the single most romantic place within the cosmos.’ – Tom Hanks

‘If the Earth gets hit by an asteroid, it’s game over. It’s control-alt-delete for civilization.’ – Bill Nye

‘Those are the same stars, and that is the same moon, that look down upon your brothers and sisters, and which they see as they look up to them, though they are ever so far away from us, and each other.’ – Sojourner Truth

‘I see Earth! It is so beautiful!’ – Yuri Gagarin

‘When you launch in a rocket, you’re not really flying that rocket. You’re just sort of hanging on.’ – Michael P. Anderson

‘One in 200 stars has habitable Earth-like planets surrounding it – in the galaxy, half a billion stars have Earth-like planets going around them – that’s huge, half a billion. So when we look at the night sky, it makes sense that someone is looking back at us.’ – Michio Kaku

‘At night, when the sky is full of stars and the sea is still you get the wonderful sensation that you are floating in space.’ – Natalie Wood

‘We are not going to be able to operate our Spaceship Earth successfully nor for much longer unless we see it as a whole spaceship and our fate as common. It has to be everybody or nobody.’ – R. Buckminster Fuller

‘Planets move in ellipses with the Sun at one focus.’ – Johannes Kepler

‘The stars, that nature hung in heaven, and filled their lamps with everlasting oil, give due light to the misled and lonely traveller.’ – John Milton

‘The dinosaurs became extinct because they didn’t have a space program.’ – Larry Niven

‘I think we are at the dawn of a new era in commercial space exploration.’ – Elon Musk

‘Rocket science is tough, and rockets have a way of failing.’ – Sally Ride

‘Whenever I gaze up at the moon, I feel like I’m on a time machine. I am back to that precious pinpoint of time, standing on the foreboding – yet beautiful – Sea of Tranquility. I could see our shining blue planet Earth poised in the darkness of space.’ – Buzz Aldrin

‘Great industries are never made from single companies. There is room in space for a lot of winners.’ – Jeff Bezos

‘After one look at this planet any visitor from outer space would say ‘I want to see the manager.” – William S. Burroughs

‘I’ll tell you, being involved in human space flight, it is an emotional endeavor. I think it brings in the highest highs and the lowest lows.’ – Ellen Ochoa

‘As an astronaut, especially during launch, half of the risk of a six-month flight is in the first nine minutes.’ – Chris Hadfield

‘Everything has a natural explanation. The moon is not a god, but a great rock, and the sun a hot rock.’ – Anaxagoras

‘It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.’ – Neil Armstrong

‘Oh, don’t let’s ask for the moon. We’ve already got the stars.’ – Bette Davis

‘Empty space is a boiling, bubbling brew of virtual particles that pop in and out of existence in a time scale so short that you can’t even measure them.’ – Lawrence M. Krauss

‘Our passionate preoccupation with the sky, the stars, and a God somewhere in outer space is a homing impulse. We are drawn back to where we came from.’ – Eric Hoffer

‘By refocusing our space program on Mars for America’s future, we can restore the sense of wonder and adventure in space exploration that we knew in the summer of 1969. We won the moon race; now it’s time for us to live and work on Mars, first on its moons and then on its surface.’ – Buzz Aldrin

‘I won’t say that I’m an agnostic, since agnosticism maintains that one cannot know… but I’m not averse to the idea of some intelligence or some organizing force that set up the initial conditions of the universe in such a way that ultimately generated stars, planets and life.’ – B. F. Skinner

‘It’s a very sobering feeling to be up in space and realize that one’s safety factor was determined by the lowest bidder on a government contract.’ – Alan Shepard

‘There is just one thing I can promise you about the outer-space program – your tax-dollar will go further.’ – Wernher von Braun

‘I said it’s a cold universe and I don’t mean that metaphorically. If you go out into space, it’s cold. It’s really cold and we don’t know what’s up there. We happen to be in this little pocket where there’s a sun. What have we got except love and each other to guard against all that isolation and loneliness?’ – David Chase

‘NASA was going to pick a public school teacher to go into space, observe and make a journal about the space flight, and I am a teacher who always dreamed of going up into space.’ – Christa McAuliffe

‘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

‘It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.’ – Carl Sagan

‘If we drive down the cost of transportation in space, we can do great things.’ – Elon Musk

‘The purpose of going to Mars is for humans to first begin to occupy, permanently, another planet in the solar system. The astronauts or pilgrims, whatever you might call them, are going to be very historically unique human beings.’ – Buzz Aldrin

‘Space offers extraordinary potential for commerce and adventure, for new innovations and new tests of will. As Americans, we can’t help but reach for the stars. It’s our nature. It’s our destiny.’ – Bill Frist

‘The world, when you look at it, it just can’t be random. I mean, it’s so different than the vast emptiness that is everything else, and even all the other planets we’ve seen, at least in our solar system, none of them even remotely resemble the precious life-giving nature of our own planet.’ – Chris Hadfield

‘The black holes of nature are the most perfect macroscopic objects there are in the universe: the only elements in their construction are our concepts of space and time.’ – Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar

‘Hey sky, take off your hat, I’m on my way! – Valentina Tereshkova’ – Valentina Tereshkova

‘To me, there is something superbly symbolic in the fact that an astronaut, sent up as assistant to a series of computers, found that he worked more accurately and more intelligently than they. Inside the capsule, man is still in charge.’ – Adlai Stevenson II

‘The moon and other celestial bodies should be free for exploration and use by all countries. No country should be permitted to advance a claim of sovereignty.’ – Lyndon B. Johnson

‘I’d like to go to another planet, which I might live long enough to accomplish. Just get on a spaceship and go. But not the moon. I don’t see any flowers there. The moon is too close. I want to go further.’ – Shirley MacLaine

‘I think we’re going to the moon because it’s in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It’s by the nature of his deep inner soul… we’re required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream.’ – Neil Armstrong

‘Don’t even try to talk to me when I’m watching the moon. That’s my moon, baby.’ – Wendelin Van Draanen

‘Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction, but Einstein’s general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out.’ – Stephen Hawking

‘I stayed in the astronaut program until 1993. People ask me why I left. I thought I had a lot of things to contribute that would be difficult to do if I stayed. I thought I could have a stronger voice as an advocate for space exploration. So I ended up starting my own technology consulting company.’ – Mae Jemison

‘Put three grains of sand inside a vast cathedral, and the cathedral will be more closely packed with sand than space is with stars.’ – James Jeans

‘I’ve been lucky enough to fly to space twice.’ – Chris Hadfield

‘Life science research can be done on multiple platforms. Since we have a very small number of people flying into space, the more people you have, the better.’ – Laurel Clark

‘You never enjoy the world aright, till the sea itself floweth in your veins, till you are clothed with the heavens and crowned with the stars.’ – Thomas Traherne

‘In essence, String Theory describes space and time, matter and energy, gravity and light, indeed all of God’s creation… as music.’ – Roy H. Williams

‘If you’re going to go to the moon, you don’t shoot the rocket right at the moon. You have to go at it obliquely.’ – Drew Houston

‘Astronauts are very professional and when they’re preparing for launch, they prepare for it as the most serious endeavor of our lives.’ – Ellen Ochoa

‘There are no wishy-washy astronauts. You don’t get up there by being uncaring and blase. And whatever gave you the sense of tenacity and purpose to get that far in life is absolutely reaffirmed and deepened by the experience itself.’ – Chris Hadfield

‘If I can get some student interested in science, if I can show members of the general public what’s going on up there in the space program, then my job’s been done.’ – Christa McAuliffe

‘Perhaps when distant people on other planets pick up some wavelength of ours all they hear is a continuous scream.’ – Iris Murdoch

‘America has tossed its cap over the wall of space.’ – John F. Kennedy

‘There is good evidence that Venus once had liquid water and a much thinner atmosphere, similar to Earth billions of years ago. But today the surface of Venus is dry as a bone, hot enough to melt lead, there are clouds of sulfuric acid that reach a hundred miles high and the air is so thick it’s like being 900 meters deep in the ocean.’ – Bill Nye

‘I could have gone on flying through space forever.’ – Yuri Gagarin

‘You have to be there not for the fame and glory and recognition and being a page in a history book, but you have to be there because you believe your talent and ability can be applied effectively to operation of the spacecraft.’ – Alan Shepard

‘The earth together with its surrounding waters must in fact have such a shape as its shadow reveals, for it eclipses the moon with the arc of a perfect circle.’ – Nicolaus Copernicus

‘The feeling is constantly growing on me that I had been the first to hear the greeting of one planet to another.’ – Nikola Tesla

‘One thing I probably share with everyone else in the astronaut office is composure.’ – Sally Ride

‘I grew up watching a lot of the coverage of the early U.S. space program, all the way back starting with Mercury and then through Gemini and Apollo and of course going to the moon as the main part of the Apollo program.’ – Linda M. Godwin

‘Houston, Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed.’ – Neil Armstrong

‘Space enthusiasts are the most susceptible demographic to delusion that I have ever seen.’ – Neil deGrasse Tyson

‘What was most significant about the lunar voyage was not that men set foot on the moon but that they set eye on the earth.’ – Norman Cousins

‘Once you’ve been in space, you appreciate how small and fragile the Earth is.’ – Valentina Tereshkova

‘Perhaps, as some wit remarked, the best proof that there is Intelligent Life in Outer Space is the fact it hasn’t come here. Well, it can’t hide forever – one day we will overhear it.’ – Arthur C. Clarke

‘Mining asteroids will ultimately benefit humanity on and off the Earth in a multitude of ways.’ – Peter Diamandis

‘Trees go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!’ – John Muir

‘As a young boy growing up in rural India, most of what I knew of the world was what I could see around me. But each night, I would look at the Moon – it was impossibly far away, yet it held a special attraction because it allowed me to dream beyond my village and country, and think about the rest of the world and space.’ – Naveen Jain

‘We have never observed infinity in nature. Whenever you have infinities in a theory, that’s where the theory fails as a description of nature. And if space was born in the Big Bang, yet is infinite now, we are forced to believe that it’s instantaneously, infinitely big. It seems absurd.’ – Janna Levin

‘I’m Chinese-American, of course, and so it’s very interesting to see China actually launch their own astronauts, becoming the third nation, following the United States and Russia, to do so.’ – Leroy Chiao

‘I am absolutely certain that life can exist in outer space, move around, find a new aqueous environment.’ – Craig Venter

‘By 1973, we had a space station, the Skylab, and we had multiple probes going up to planets. So, all this wonderful stuff happened in 10 to 15 years. About that time, there should have been enormous initiatives to make it affordable for people to fly in space, not just a handful of trained NASA astronauts and Russian cosmonauts.’ – Burt Rutan

‘I don’t know what you could say about a day in which you have seen four beautiful sunsets.’ – John Glenn

‘The important achievement of Apollo was demonstrating that humanity is not forever chained to this planet and our visions go rather further than that and our opportunities are unlimited.’ – Neil Armstrong

‘The heart looks into space to be away from earth.’ – Richard Jefferies

‘Am I willing to go to Mars? Yes, but I’m not willing to spend nine months getting there, then wait 18 more months until the planets align to come home.’ – Gene Cernan

‘I am sorry to say that there is too much point to the wisecrack that life is extinct on other planets because their scientists were more advanced than ours.’ – John F. Kennedy

‘Philosophically, the universe has really never made things in ones. The Earth is special and everything else is different? No, we’ve got seven other planets. The sun? No, the sun is one of those dots in the night sky. The Milky Way? No, it’s one of a hundred billion galaxies. And the universe – maybe it’s countless other universes.’ – Neil deGrasse Tyson

‘I see nothing in space as promising as the view from a Ferris wheel.’ – E. B. White

‘Our astronauts, when they go orbiting around the earth, they actually come back slightly younger than a twin that they would have on the planet Earth who was stationary. This is called the twin paradox.’ – Michio Kaku

‘If we ever start communicating with living creatures from other planets, the number one priority is, how are you going to communicate information? Even between different cultures here on Earth, you get into communication problems.’ – Story Musgrave

‘There are thousands of asteroids whose orbit in the Solar System crosses that of Earth. And we have a little acronym for them – NEOs: near Earth objects. And our biggest goal is to try to catalogue them, so we know in advance if one is going to put us at risk.’ – Neil deGrasse Tyson

‘Land on Mars, a round-trip ticket – half a million dollars. It can be done.’ – Elon Musk

‘Man is an artifact designed for space travel. He is not designed to remain in his present biologic state any more than a tadpole is designed to remain a tadpole.’ – William S. Burroughs

‘In spite of the opinions of certain narrow-minded people, who would shut up the human race upon this globe, as within some magic circle it must never outstep, we shall one day travel to the moon, the planets, and the stars, with the same facility, rapidity, and certainty as we now make the voyage from Liverpool to New York!’ – Jules Verne

‘The math is dead simple: it seems that the frequency of planets able to support life is roughly one percent. In other words, a billion or more such worlds exist in our galaxy alone. That’s a lot of acreage, and it takes industrial-strength credulity to believe it’s all bleakly barren.’ – Seth Shostak

‘Sometimes people ask me how difficult the astronaut program was, but being in Sierra Leone, being responsible for the health of more than 200 people, seven days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, at age 26 – that prepared me to take on a lot of different challenges.’ – Mae Jemison

‘Most of our history in space has been communicated in terms of action – what people do, a chronological list of events which have transpired – as opposed to the human experience of having done those things.’ – Story Musgrave

‘I don’t think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space.’ – Stephen Hawking

‘The motions of the comets are exceedingly regular, and they observe the same laws as the motions of the planets, but they differ from the motions of vortices in every particular and are often contrary to them.’ – Isaac Newton

‘Building one space station for everyone was and is insane: we should have built a dozen.’ – Larry Niven

‘I think space exploration is very important. I think there is very intelligent life on Mars. I believe that Martians are spying on us from the bottom of the ocean.’ – Annabella Sciorra

‘I think humans will reach Mars, and I would like to see it happen in my lifetime.’ – Buzz Aldrin

‘The microgravity or the very, very low amount of gravity that we have up in space forces some changes in different processes. It forces changes in us as human beings.’ – Laurel Clark

‘The most important thing about Spaceship Earth – an instruction book didn’t come with it.’ – R. Buckminster Fuller

‘Mankind will not forever remain on Earth but, in the pursuit of light and space, will first timidly emerge from the bounds of the atmosphere and then advance until he has conquered the whole of circumsolar space.’ – Konstantin Tsiolkovsky

‘We must still think of ourselves as pioneers to understand the importance of space.’ – Buzz Aldrin

‘Thank you for the confidence put in my by the motherland and the people, for giving me this chance to represent China’s millions of women by going into space.’ – Liu Yang

‘Supplying fuel for a Mars expedition from the lunar surface is often suggested, but it’s hard to make it pay off – Moon bases are expensive, and just buying more rockets to launch fuel from Earth is relatively cheap.’ – Henry Spencer

‘The Orion capsule uses an escape system quite like that of the Apollo spacecraft in the 1960s and 70s: an ‘escape tower’ containing a solid-fuel rocket that will pull it up and away from Ares I in a pinch.’ – Henry Spencer

‘Whether solid rockets are more or less likely to fail than liquid-fuel rockets is debatable. More serious, though, is that when they do fail, it’s usually violent and spectacular.’ – Henry Spencer

‘Sometimes people wonder why aeroplanes are so cheap and rockets are so expensive. Even the most superficial comparison shows one obvious difference: aeroplane engines use outside air to burn their fuel, while rockets have to carry their own oxidisers along.’ – Henry Spencer

‘Reusable rockets promise much easier testing because you should usually get them back, and you can debug as you go rather than having to get everything perfect the first time.’ – Henry Spencer

‘Any astronaut can tell you you’ve got to do everything you can to learn about your life support system and then do everything you can to take care of it.’ – Sylvia Earle

‘The discovery and investigation of life on other planets is likely to change many of our ideas about how life arose on the Earth and even what is life and its natural development.’ – George Smoot

‘The lunar flights give you a correct perception of our existence. You look back at Earth from the moon, and you can put your thumb up to the window and hide the Earth behind your thumb. Everything you’ve ever known is behind your thumb, and that blue-and-white ball is orbiting a rather normal star, tucked away on the outer edge of a galaxy.’ – Jim Lovell

‘When you gaze at stars and think about planets, the places it takes your imagination are amazing! You look up the sky, and you know the stars have always been here; they were referenced in biblical times and have always been present. They are somewhere up there in the future, and they guide you; they make you feel safe.’ – Sarah Brightman

‘I’m looking forward to coming back, back to Earth, the landing, the views.’ – Duane G. Carey

‘Those folks out in the space suits are going to be getting beat up.’ – Duane G. Carey

‘The photographs of space taken by our astronauts have been published all over the place. But the eye is a much more dynamic mechanism than any camera or pictures. It’s a more exciting view in person than looking at the photographs. Of course, I personally am sick and tired of hearing people talk like that: I want to see it myself!’ – Burt Rutan

‘Earlier generations of stars in the galaxy could well have had planets. But really, there was only hydrogen and helium to work with, so they’d all be gas giants and not small, rocky planets.’ – Jill Tarter

‘Well, I don’t think we should go to the moon. I think we maybe should send some politicians up there.’ – Ron Paul

‘I think most astronauts are not risk takers. We take calculated risks for something that we think is worthwhile.’ – Michael J. Massimino

‘I left Aerospace because I wanted to go build, and put spacecraft together.’ – Gwynne Shotwell

‘Maybe the search for life shouldn’t restrict attention to planets like Earth. Science fiction writers have other ideas: balloon-like creatures floating in the dense atmospheres of planets such as Jupiter, swarms of intelligent insects, nano-scale robots and more.’ – Martin Rees

‘The images of Earth’s delicate biosphere, contrasting with the sterile moonscape where the astronauts left their footsteps, have become iconic for environmentalists: these may indeed be the Apollo programme’s most enduring legacy.’ – Martin Rees

‘Astronauts have been stuck in low-Earth orbit, boldly going nowhere. American attempts to kick-start a new phase of lunar exploration have stalled amid the realisation that NASA’s budget is too small for the job.’ – Paul Davies

‘The stars look the same from night to night. Nebulae and galaxies are dully immutable, maintaining the same overall appearance for thousands or millions of years. Indeed, only the sun, moon and planets – together with the occasional comet, asteroid or meteor – seem dynamic.’ – Seth Shostak

‘In the four years since its launch, Kepler has chalked up 122 new and confirmed planets. It’s also caught the scent of nearly three thousand additional objects, of which probably 80 percent or more will turn out to be other-worldly orbs.’ – Seth Shostak

‘It bears mentioning that the Milky Way is only one of 150 billion galaxies visible to our telescopes – and each of these will have its own complement of planets.’ – Seth Shostak

‘Each year, thousands of UFOs are sighted and reported, which is an impressive tally of unidentified aerial phenomena. Surveys show that roughly one-third of the populace believes that at least some of this sky show is due to extraterrestrial spacecraft, here to probe our airspace and, when that proves boring, our bodies.’ – Seth Shostak

‘So most astronauts getting ready to lift off are excited and very anxious and worried about that explosion – because if something goes wrong in the first seconds of launch, there’s not very much you can do.’ – Sally Ride

‘In order for us to have a future that’s exciting and inspiring, it has to be one where we’re a space-bearing civilization.’ – Elon Musk

‘The question we ask is – if there is life on other planets, should we expect it to be based on the same molecules, i.e. be universal – or should we expect it to depend on the local conditions, i.e. on the planet’s geochemistry. So to find out, we try experiments on biomolecules, starting with such geochemistry conditions.’ – Dimitar Sasselov

‘Age can be wonderful for red wine, but not for spacecraft.’ – Nathan Myhrvold

‘I would have taken whatever hand I was dealt. Space was it.’ – Story Musgrave

‘The world itself looks cleaner and so much more beautiful. Maybe we can make it that way – the way God intended it to be – by giving everyone, eventually, that new perspective from out in space.’ – Roger B. Chaffee

‘The question that will decide our destiny is not whether we shall expand into space. It is: shall we be one species or a million? A million species will not exhaust the ecological niches that are awaiting the arrival of intelligence.’ – Freeman Dyson

‘I’d love to go back to space, I don’t know any astronaut who doesn’t want to.’ – Helen Sharman

‘While we’ve taken seeds into space, and astronauts on the International Space Station have eaten lettuce they’ve grown, we haven’t produced fruit in space, so we can’t pollinate something.’ – Helen Sharman

‘During launch, the outside of the rocket is covered in a protective fairing, so we couldn’t see outside, but as soon as that was jettisoned, my first view of the earth was over the Pacific Ocean, which was this wonderful deep blue, with clouds just over the top, and sunlight streaming in through the window.’ – Helen Sharman

‘One of the things that we can say with confidence is that we will have much lighter, much stronger materials, and this will reduce the cost of air flight, and the cost of rockets.’ – Ralph Merkle

‘Man must at all costs overcome the Earth’s gravity and have, in reserve, the space at least of the Solar System.’ – Konstantin Tsiolkovsky

‘I do not remember how it got into my head to make the first calculations related to rocket. It seems to me the first seeds were planted by famous fantaseour, J. Verne.’ – Konstantin Tsiolkovsky

‘From the moment of using rocket devices, a great new era will begin in astronomy: the epoch of the more intensive study of the firmament.’ – Konstantin Tsiolkovsky

‘I do believe there is life in outer space. Mathematically, there has to be, and if you believe as I do that there is a creator of the universe, then how can we be so arrogant to believe he created life here and nowhere else?’ – Gene Cernan

‘The sun and its retinue of planets drift as a group through the vast gulfs of space that separate the stars.’ – Barney Oliver

‘Eventually there are going to be cities in space.’ – Alan Bean

‘Rocket scientists agree that we have about reached the limit of our ability to travel in space using chemical rockets. To achieve anything near the speed of light we will need a new energy source and a new propellant. Nuclear fission is not an option.’ – Wilson Greatbatch

‘Life can be less mysterious than we make it out to be when we try to think about how it would be on other planets. And if we remove the mystery of life, then I think it is a little bit easier for us to think about how we live, and how perhaps we’re not as special as we always think we are.’ – Chris Adami

‘A black hole really is an object with very rich structure, just like Earth has a rich structure of mountains, valleys, oceans, and so forth. Its warped space whirls around the central singularity like air in a tornado.’ – Kip Thorne

‘On Earth, men and women are taking the same risks. Why shouldn’t we be taking the same risks in space? – Valentina Tereshkova’ – Valentina Tereshkova

‘As the scene of life would be more the cold emptiness of space than the warm, dense atmosphere of planets, the advantage of containing no organic material at all, so as to be independent of both these conditions, would be increasingly felt.’ – John Desmond Bernal

‘The day is not far off when we will be able to send a robotically controlled genome-sequencing unit in a probe to other planets to read the DNA sequence of any alien microbe life that may be there.’ – Craig Venter

‘Before we had airplanes and astronauts, we really thought that there was an actual place beyond the clouds, somewhere over the rainbow. There was an actual place, and we could go above the clouds and find it there.’ – Barbara Walters

‘Bad movies: they can be tatty classics of crazed ineptitude, like Edward D. Wood’s ‘Glen or Glenda’ and ‘Plan 9 from Outer Space,’ or big-budget misfires like the 1987 ‘Ishtar,’ a would-be comedy that sent Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman on a Hope-Crosby Road to Dystopia.’ – Richard Corliss

‘I didn’t read a book until I was 31 years old when I was diagnosed with dyslexia. Books terrified me. They made me nervous. Now I know you can travel to the bottom of the ocean or to outer space or anywhere in between without leaving your armchair, and I’m so, so sorry I couldn’t read when I was younger.’ – Henry Winkler

‘There was a space program before there was integrated circuits.’ – Jack Kilby

‘But while the British empire is easy to write about, it is very difficult to summarise. This is because what we call ’empire’ spans 400 years in time and thousands of miles in space; every continent on Earth was directly affected by it.’ – Kwasi Kwarteng

‘When we started with ‘Big Brother’ and created the reality genre, no one could ever foresee that there was so much space in the genre that it could deliver so many formats.

‘Hard systems are everything we’re using right now – computers, phones, planes, the clothes you’re wearing, the room you’re in. Everything there involves 100% use of technology and expertise to make it, and nothing we make – including space exploration vehicles and so on – is complex. Everything we make is complicated. Nothing is self-renewing.’ – Allan Savory

‘We’ve learned a lot by building the International Space Station, the good, the bad. But, the fact is is that working together as a team, unity aboard that space station, we can accomplish great things.’ – Gene Kranz

‘We need to explore our own deserts and land, which need to be healed and managed on the planet itself. It is not the time to use and throw this planet and we need to explore deep within more than without. Space exploration should be used to quench human thirst.’ – Sonam Wangchuk

‘When walking, you see things that you miss in a motor car or on the train. You give your mind space to ponder.’ – Tom Hodgkinson

‘There is no time and space in the digital world. People chat and collaborate through social networks. Cultural icons garner millions of fans online in locations they have often never been themselves. The boundary between public and private life is now everyone’s business.’ – Eduardo Paes

‘The only routine I have is going for a run and a swim with the dog in the morning, between 8am and 9am – that is my head-clearing space. I am religious about holding on to that time: whatever happens, I don’t want to know about it until after that.’ – Emily Maitlis

‘The head of NASA ought to be a space professional, not a politician.’ – Bill Nelson

‘If space is a fabric, then of course fabrics can have ripples, which we have now seen directly. But fabrics can also rip. Then the question is what happens when the fabric of space and time is ripped by a black hole?’ – Michio Kaku

‘I’m convinced we all have a God-shaped space in us, and until we fill that space with God, we’ll never know what it is to be whole.’ – Ann B. Davis

‘I love the web, but man, I look at my browser, and there are, like, twenty tabs up there, all jostling for space and time, all framed by a mosaic of other apps, other work, other entertainment… so even when I really am paying attention to something on the web, there’s this peripheral haze.’ – Robin Sloan

‘Space is something that you have to define. Otherwise, it is like anxiety, which is too vague. A fear is something specific. I like claustrophobic spaces, because at least then you know your limits.’ – Louise Bourgeois

‘We’d never have got a chance to go outside and look at the earth if it hadn’t been for space exploration and NASA.’ – James Lovelock

‘It really surprises me that people in this day and age still write such busy music and fill up every space with layer upon layer of sound… it’s like musical landfill.’ – James Blake

‘When you get into your car, shut the door and be there for just half a minute. Breathe, feel the energy inside your body, look around at the sky, the trees. The mind might tell you, ‘I don’t have time.’ But that’s the mind talking to you. Even the busiest person has time for 30 seconds of space.’ – Eckhart Tolle

‘When the space shuttle’s engines cut off, and you’re finally in space, in orbit, weightless… I remember unstrapping from my seat, floating over to the window, and that’s when I got my first view of Earth. Just a spectacular view, and a chance to see our planet as a planet.’ – Sally Ride

‘I think about the cosmic snowball theory. A few million years from now the sun will burn out and lose its gravitational pull. The earth will turn into a giant snowball and be hurled through space. When that happens it won’t matter if I get this guy out.’ – Bill Lee

‘It is not a coincidence that we have managed to send rockets into space, but our literacy rate continues to be below the world average. It is because governments don’t want an educated electorate. Because if we get educated, we will start asking the right questions. And they don’t want the right questions being asked.’ – Anubhav Sinha

‘Time and space – time to be alone, space to move about – these may well become the great scarcities of tomorrow.’ – Edwin Way Teale

‘Many people may not recognize that the development of space exploration technologies has already helped benefit Earth in many ways, especially when it comes to communications, Earth observation and even fostering economic growth. Space technologies are surprisingly critical in impacting government, industry and personal daily decision-making.’ – Dylan Taylor

‘The solar probe is going to a region of space that has never been explored before. It’s very exciting that we’ll finally get a look. One would like to have some more detailed measurements of what’s going on in the solar wind. I’m sure that there will be some surprises. There always are.’ – Eugene Parker

‘It was great working with Salman. He doesn’t come across as the ‘bad boy of Bollywood.’ He is a very generous actor. There are actors, who don’t let you have your space on screen and try to steal it. But Salman is not like that.’ – Ayesha Takia

‘I like to think of Photography 1.0 as the invention of photography. Photography 2.0 is digital technology and the move from film and paper to everything on a chip. Photography 3.0 is the use of the camera, space, and color and to capture an object in the third dimension.’ – Edward Burtynsky

‘In the 1990s, it’s OK to do comedy about the Chernobyl disaster or the Space Shuttle blowing up. It’s acceptable to ridicule the Pope or the President of the United States, but God forbid you do a joke… about gays. The gay community is the last sacred cow in this society.’ – Sam Kinison

‘The Earth is a beautiful planet. The space station is a great vantage point to observe it and share our planet in pictures. It makes you more of an environmentalist.’ – Scott Kelly

‘I don’t know why. I’m fascinated with stars and space. I just love them.’ – Khoudia Diop

It helps us to be aware of and step away from our automatic and habitual reactions to our everyday experiences.’ – Elizabeth Thornton

‘I like to be present; I like to be in the now. The way life has shaped up, it is difficult, you know, with mobile phones taking you to another time and space all the time. So it’s always a battle to stay in the moment. But according to me, it’s a better way to be.’ – Ranveer Singh

‘Starbucks was founded around the experience and the environment of their stores. Starbucks was about a space with comfortable chairs, lots of power outlets, tables and desks at which we could work and the option to spend as much time in their stores as we wanted without any pressure to buy. The coffee was incidental.’ – Simon Sinek

‘The opening of space to human development and settlement is the most important activity of the human species. From hope to health, from wonder to wealth, the environment, and the very act of living, space is the future.’ – Rick Tumlinson

‘I don’t think there is anything wrong with white space. I don’t think it’s a problem to have a blank wall.’ – Annie Leibovitz

‘Ironically, it is only when disaster strikes that the shuttle makes the headlines. Its routine flights attracted less media interest than unmanned probes to the planets or the images from the Hubble Telescope. The fate of Columbia (like that of Challenger in 1986) reminded us that space is still a hazardous environment.’ – Martin Rees

‘Well-run libraries are filled with people because what a good library offers cannot be easily found elsewhere: an indoor public space in which you do not have to buy anything in order to stay.’ – Zadie Smith

‘Pollution is everywhere, in that ancient Greek sense of miasma: guilt experienced as abject body fluid, moral pollution defining what kinds of beings count in social space.’ – Timothy Morton

‘Asteroids have us in our sight. The dinosaurs didn’t have a space program, so they’re not here to talk about this problem. We are, and we have the power to do something about it.

‘I loved ‘Space Ghost’ when I was in college.’ – Eric Andre

‘Cyberspace can’t compensate for real space. We benefit from chatting to people face to face.’ – Jonathan Sacks

‘If you’re building a consumer app, you’re necessarily coupled to the intrinsic time cycle of human fashion in that it’s a fashion-driven space, and we see that in the cycle of these various apps. I think for infrastructure that that just naturally tends to play out over a longer time horizon.’ – Patrick Collison

‘Words are like untying a corset – you can move into this great space with them.’ – Ali Smith

‘Column writing is like gas – it fills the available space.’ – Jeremy Clarkson

‘Jupiter, Pluto, pick a planet: we can go there. I just got a bit more work to do in the music industry, and we’re going to space, baby.’ – Future

‘Profound subject matter can be encompassed in small space – for proof, look at any sonnet by Shakespeare!’ – Cynthia Ozick

‘I’m really hopeful about the future of space exploration and human spaceflight. Civilization as we know it has been defined by exploration. You know, we need to go off and find out what’s around the next corner and what’s just beyond what we already know. It’s part of our being; it’s part of our moral fiber to go off and explore.’ – Alan G. Poindexter

‘Life as an astronaut in space is a very interesting one. There are things we all take for granted here on earth, like gravity, that can make things a bit challenging.

‘I might have lived long enough to learn all this in the long haul, but I would have been just another soul taking up time and space for a long spell before I learned.’ – Lou Rawls

‘Knowledge born of the finest discrimination takes us to the farthest shore. It is intuitive, omniscient, and beyond all divisions of time and space.’ – Patanjali

‘When I played in Holland, I always tried to lob the goalkeeper. People used to say, ‘Oh, you’re always only trying to make a nice goal’. But I said, ‘Listen, if the goalie is a little bit off his line, how much space do you have on his left or right?’ It’s not a lot. ‘And how much space do you have above him?” – Dennis Bergkamp

‘The fact that I was going to be the first American woman to go into space carried huge expectations along with it.’ – Sally Ride

‘An album is a whole universe, and the recording studio is a three-dimensional kind of art space that I can fill with sound. Just as the album art and videos are ways of adding more dimensions to the words and music. I like to be involved in all of it because it’s all of a piece.’ – Bat for Lashes

‘Major actions by courageous and wise men will be necessary to avoid our continuing to blunder into the space age like unenlightened and selfish idiots.’ – Fritz Zwicky

‘We look forward with great anticipation to see the course that the National Space Council charts for America’s future in space.’ – Bruce Pittman

They have found in social media a way to interact and share ideas, bypassing, in virtual space, the restrictions placed on physical freedom of assembly.’ – Mohamed ElBaradei

‘When you’re interviewing someone, even your mother – you have to sort of deal with you have to get some objective space from yourself and the person but you also have to find what’s the best way to get the information from that person.’ – James McBride

‘The reality is the world’s shifted; the world’s evolved. We now measure ourself by total device space. We have a much bigger opportunity than we’ve ever had in the past to grow our business, but we have to rethink how we look at our business.’ – B. Kevin Turner

‘Each atom of the Holy Spirit is intelligent, and like all other matter has solidity, form, and size, and occupies space.’ – Orson Pratt

‘Patriarchy appears to be everywhere. Even outer space and the future have been colonized. As a rule, even the more imaginative science-fiction writers (allegedly the most foretelling futurists) cannot/will not create a space and time in which women get far beyond the role of space stewardess.’ – Mary Daly

‘There is no stronger case for the motivational power of real science than the discoveries that come from the Hubble Space Telescope as it unravels the mysteries of the universe.’ – John M. Grunsfeld

‘Anyone who has spent any time in space will love it for the rest of their lives. I achieved my childhood dream of the sky.’ – Valentina Tereshkova

‘An architect must remember that the people working or living in his building need space – to dream, to be quiet, to find beauty somewhere.’ – Christian de Portzamparc

‘Most architects think in drawings, or did think in drawings; today, they think on the computer monitor. I always tried to think three dimensionally. The interior eye of the brain should be not flat but three dimensional so that everything is an object in space. We are not living in a two-dimensional world.’ – Frei Otto

‘We may have a tacit understanding of how our solar system works, but watching the sun disappear behind the moon reminds us of the vastness of space and the enduring mysteries of the universe we inhabit.’ – Jenna Wortham

‘Cable series have more time to focus on characters, and a structure that allows for a development in character as you go along. Network shows have a pressure of time and space that is completely different.’ – James Frain

‘Lest those islands still seem to you too remote in space and time to be relevant to our modern societies, just think about the risks… of our increasing globalization and increasing worldwide economic interdependence.’ – Jared Diamond

‘It turns out it’s not rocket science to design a sacred space.’ – Greg Lynn

‘For me, I read and react. I think when I have time and space, I’m a threat to score or a threat to make a really nice play.’ – Jack Hughes

‘I have a theory that women are generally given space and appointed to jobs when the situation is tough. I’ve observed that in many instances. In times of crisis, women eventually are called upon to sort out the mess, face the difficult issues and be completely focused on restoring the situation.’ – Christine Lagarde

‘The characteristic of great innovators and great companies is they see a space that others do not. They don’t just listen to what people tell them; they actually invent something new, something that you didn’t know you needed, but the moment you see it, you say, ‘I must have it.” – Eric Schmidt

”Cyberspace’ is a metaphorical idea which is supposed to be the space where your consciousness is located when you’re using computer technology on the Internet, for example, and I’m not entirely sure it’s such a useful term, but I think that’s what most people mean by it.’ – Neil Postman

‘As photographs give people an imaginary possession of a past that is unreal, they also help people to take possession of space in which they are insecure.’ – Susan Sontag

‘What is a fear of living? It’s being preeminently afraid of dying. It is not doing what you came here to do, out of timidity and spinelessness. The antidote is to take full responsibility for yourself – for the time you take up and the space you occupy. If you don’t know what you’re here to do, then just do some good.’ – Maya Angelou

‘The universe is a symphony of strings, and the mind of God that Einstein eloquently wrote about for thirty years would be cosmic music resonating through eleven-dimensional hyper space.’ – Michio Kaku

‘That’s what I love – on ‘The Farewell,’ we played with a lot of silence and a lot of negative space, and I really worked with the composer to create those juxtapositions of like, those awkward silences and when something comes in.’ – Lulu Wang

‘Science has taught us, against all intuition, that apparently solid things like crystals and rocks are really almost entirely composed of empty space. And the familiar illustration is the nucleus of an atom is a fly in the middle of a sports stadium, and the next atom is in the next sports stadium.’ – Richard Dawkins

‘I was only in second grade when the Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space. The night of his launch – April 12, 1961 – I went out onto the front porch and stared up at the stars, trying to see his capsule passing overhead. Like millions of others, I was enthralled by the idea of space exploration and have been ever since.’ – Paul Allen

‘I’ve discovered that half the people would love to go into space and there’s no need to explain it to them. The other half can’t understand and I couldn’t explain it to them. If someone doesn’t know why, I can’t explain it.’ – Sally Ride

‘If I can create some space that people haven’t experienced before and if it stays with them or gives them a dream for the future, that’s the kind of structure I seek to create.’ – Tadao Ando

‘I think maths is the root of everything. If we understood every area of math, it would lead to improving our sense of science, physics, engineering, space travel… all those great things. Maths is a backbone for it.’ – Matt Haig

‘Bad actors like Russia, Iran, and China have demonstrated time and time again they have both the capabilities and the intent to use the cyber domain as an operating space to wreak havoc.’ – Will Hurd

‘I think the International Space Station is providing a key bridge from us living on Earth to going somewhere into deep space.’ – Peggy Whitson

‘Arca means ‘box’ or ‘wooden’ in very old Spanish. It’s a ceremonial container where you store jewelry or valuables, an empty space that can become pregnant with whatever music or meaning I give to it.’ – Arca

‘I wanted to be an aerospace engineer because I really like space. But I didn’t go to the army.’ – Nuseir Yassin

‘Don’t ever let the other stuff get in the way of your inherent skills as a kick-butt storyteller. Move the reader, make them happy and sad and excited and scared. Make them stare into space after they’ve put the book down, thinking about the tale that’s become a part of them.’ – James Dashner

‘Rhythm is the life of space of time danced through.’ – Cecil Taylor

‘You have to find space in your own mind to completely focus on the job at hand. That’s the only way to deal with pressure. You have to be confident and welcome it.’ – Denise Lewis

‘I have values. But morals are Christian. There’s no religion here. Values. Don’t hurt when you don’t need to, but don’t let anybody step over that line – it’s an invisible line, but it’s respect for somebody’s space.’ – John Lydon

‘I wonder if there’s space to queer the nomenclature in fitness. Maybe we call a goblet squat a Dannii Minogue instead? Just an idea.’ – Bowen Yang

‘Before Lil B, hip-hop and music in general was in a different space. Lil B really just pushed this independence.’ – Lil B

So you just take it one day at a time, meet the people who are going to meet with you, for you, and who you’re going to work for, and really try to do the best job that you can. That’s all teamwork, and that’s what space travel is about.’ – Sunita Williams

‘My parents, and librarians along the way, taught me about the space between words; about the margins, where so many juicy moments of life and spirit and friendship could be found.

‘Private enterprise can never lead a space frontier. It’s not possible because a space frontier is expensive, it has unknown risks and it has unquantified risks.’ – Neil deGrasse Tyson

‘I tend to prioritize emotional realism above the known laws of time and space, and when you do that, it’s inevitable that strange things happen. Which can be quite enjoyable, I think.’ – Helen Oyeyemi

‘At the center of President Obama’s strategy for dealing with the Islamic State is an empty space. It’s supposed be filled by a ‘Sunni ground force,’ but after more than a year of effort, it’s still not there. Unless this gap is filled, Obama’s plan won’t work.’ – David Ignatius

The place where the hierarchies of the world can be rearranged within the space of a painting. And they can be articulated in different ways.’ – Dana Schutz

‘I used to get a sort of sociophobia, and I still get it sometimes these days when I’m in a confined space with too many people.

‘What is wine? It is the grape present in another form; its essence is there, though the fruit which produced it grew thousands of miles away, and perished years ago.

‘Something I like to do a lot is just sit by water when there’s a current and just stare into the water. I don’t fish, I don’t hunt, I don’t scuba, I don’t spear, don’t boat, don’t play basketball or football – I excel at staring into space. I’m really good at that.’ – Iggy Pop

‘Designing a station with artificial gravity would undoubtedly be a daunting task.

In 2005, Craigslist solicited messages for broadcast to space by a transmitter in Florida, and in 2008, NASA beamed a Beatles song to the North Star (Polaris), on the assumption that any putative Polarians would appreciate the Fab Four’s 1960s-genre compositions.’ – Seth Shostak

‘I always liked the visuals to be choice and at the same time minimalist. And, I love black boxes.

‘I think about that ’empty’ space a lot. That emptiness is what allows for something to actually evolve in a natural way. I’ve had to learn that over the years – because one of the traps of being an artist is to always want to be creating, always wanting to produce.’ – Meredith Monk

‘These people I cover, I want to do right by them. Doing right by them doesn’t always mean agreeing with me or being happy with me, but it means being fair to them and giving their voice space.’ – Malika Andrews

‘One of the reasons why I think virtual reality, as a narrative format, is never going to go beyond the short-form immersion space is because the bedrock of visual storytelling is the reverse angle. If you can’t look into the eyes of the protagonist, you cannot hold people’s attention for more than 15 minutes.’ – Steven Soderbergh

‘I think the Space Shuttle is worth one billion dollars a launch. I think that it is worth two billion dollars for what it does. I think the Shuttle is worth it for the work it does.’ – Pete Conrad

‘I love telling the experience of a black male in America, but modern, not always having to go back to a period piece to remind people where we come from. It’s more a modern sense of where we are today and where we want to go in the future. So I try to choose projects somewhere around that space.’ – Michael B. Jordan

‘Roman civilization had achieved, within the bounds of its technology, relatively as great a mastery of time and space as we have achieved today.’ – Arthur Erickson

‘Cinema is a thankless industry where sometimes to appear on the cinematic scenery is a thing for late bloomers and people who are very patient. The places are accounted, and the space is often unwelcoming. Money is rare, and independent voices are muted by the almost complete absence of risk takers.’ – Xavier Dolan

‘The thought of a limit to perceptual space and time staggers the mind.’ – Muhammad Iqbal

‘I’m claustrophobic. I can’t go into haunted houses. They have these tight, dark, enclosed space. I freak out. That’s my phobia. It gets me out of stuff. Someone asks me to do something and I tell them I can’t because I’m claustrophobic.’ – Mark Consuelos

‘To see a trans body in this ideal space – on a cover, in an ad – these are spaces that have immense cultural power to dictate what is beautiful, what is glamorous, what is aspirational, what is sexy, what is clean.

‘We continue to not only operate the International Space Station but to increase its capabilities as well as commercial contributions.’ – Ellen Ochoa

‘One of the things I’m proudest of is, on my record ‘That Was the Year that Was’ in 1965, I made a joke about spending $20 billion sending some clown to the moon. I was against the manned space program then, and I’m even more against it now, that whole waste of money.’ – Tom Lehrer

‘It’s always good to leave a little space between eating and lying down in bed at the end of the day. The best thing to eat at night in general is protein, fat, and vegetables. For instance, if you’re in an Italian restaurant, have chicken piccata with lemon-butter sauce, lots of vegetables, and a big salad. You’ll sleep like a baby.’ – Suzanne Somers

‘It’s important to bring things back from the Space Station because, unlike somebody living at the house where the garbage truck comes by twice a week, they don’t have that in space.’ – Mark Kelly

‘I think the answer of course is that space and time are not these hard external objects. Again we’re, scientists have been building from one side of nature (physics) without considering the other side (life in consciousness). Neither side exists without the other. They cannot be divorced from one another or else there is no reality.’ – Robert Lanza

‘Mental communication without verbalization… all space is made up of waves and we are constantly sending and receiving messages from our brain.’ – Tina Louise

‘When we are fully conscious and aware, we actually know when we are about to overreact. When we are mindful, we have the mental space and are aware of when our moods change.

‘I think there is a lot of space for people to love who they love, and a lot of space for actors to carve a niche for themselves.’ – Rani Mukerji

‘There was a time when I was knocking on doors and concerned with being recognized in dominant culture.

‘No one cares about race or religion or nationality in space travel. We’re all just part of Team Human.’ – Anne McClain

‘People do really well on space missions, but it’s the physiological, the medical stuff, the stuff like radiation, loss of bone mass and muscle mass and density. It’s those things that we need to figure out.’ – Scott Kelly

‘Space or science fiction has become a dialect for our time.’ – Doris Lessing

‘Tom Snyder was born to broadcast. He loved television and it loved him back.

The most natural way to try and solve that problem is to take all those different tools and try to make them smaller and fit into a single package and maybe integrate them across the boundaries.’ – Lars Rasmussen

‘The melded nature of space and time is intimately woven with properties of light speed. The inviolable nature of the speed of light is actually, in Einstein’s hands, talking about the inviolable nature of cause and effect.’ – Brian Greene

‘Before 1915, space and time were thought of as a fixed arena in which events took place, but which was not affected by what happened in it.
