“The only way we'd get beaten was if we got a little fat-headed, if we didn't train right, if we had dissension on the squad.”
“Space travel leading to skylife is vital to human survival, because the question is not whether we will be hit by an asteroid, but when. A planetary culture that does not develop spacefaring is courting suicide. All our history, all our social progress and growing insight will be for nothing if we perish.

Would to God they would shake hands while they are crossing, these from one side, and those from the other side.”
