Flying in space is risky. It will never be safe, and the best thing we can do is manage those risks. It's important for people, for human beings, to be in space because they're adaptable and because they're not pre-programmed software that can go off...
I'm always involved with the Aerospace Program and NASA and Goddard Space Flight Center. And if kids feel so inclined, they can log onto NASA and the Optimus Prime Spinoff Award, which we present every year to some of the brilliant young minds that a...
It's like turning the space program over to the Long Island Railroad.
I think that somebody with the resources and innovation and the idea is going to come out of nowhere and come up with a successful space travel program.
Sooner or later the space program will need to save us by detecting and deflecting an incoming asteroid.
The food isn't too bad. It's very different from the food that the astronauts ate in the very early days of the space program.
If you could really guarantee that the money would be spent on something more worthwhile, I'd say, absolutely, scrap the space program, but it never works that way.
With his deeds, not only words, President Obama has revitalized our struggling space program.
Since the Columbia accident, the Russian space agency, or the Russian space program, has been literally carrying the load bringing us all the supplies we need on the Progress vehicle, smaller amounts on the Soyuz vehicles.
My expertise is the space program and what it should be in the future based on my experience of looking at the transitions that we've made between pre-Sputnik days and getting to the moon.
What got my interested in science fiction was actually the American space program.
'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.
Dinosaurs are extinct today because they lacked opposable thumbs and the brainpower to build a space program.
No, I think most astronauts recognize that the space shuttle program is very high-risk, and are prepared for accidents.
Our goal is to show that you can develop a robust, safe manned space program and do it at an extremely low cost.
If the United States commits to the goal of reaching Mars, it will almost certainly do so in reaction to the progress of other nations - as was the case with NASA, the Apollo program, and the project that became the International Space Station.
There's no doubt who was a leader in space after the Apollo Program. Nobody came close to us. And our education system, in science, technology, engineering and math, was at the top of the world. It's no longer there. We're descending rather rapidly.
I love my music, so I want to produce, write, and serve my music. I've had to learn about EQ frequencies and programming and space and clutter and how to be a better piano or bass player - everything.
I will have a one-hour program called the Mission Watch, where I will describe details of the mission and give additional information about the lessons from space.
The urge to miniaturize electronics did not exist before the space program. I mean our grandparents had radios that was furniture in the living room. Nobody at the time was saying, 'Gee, I want to carry that in my pocket.' Which is a non-thought.
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.
