The moon is the first milestone on the road to the stars.
--Arthur C. Clarke

The arching sky is calling
Spacemen back to their trade
All hands, stand by, free falling
And the lights below us fade
Out ride the sons of Terra
Far drives the thund'ring jet
Up leaps the race of Earthmen
Out far, and onward yet!

We pray for one last landing
On the globe that gave us birth
Let us rest our eyes on fleecy skies
And the cool, green hills of Earth.

--Robert A. Heinlein, "The Green Hills of Earth."

The Earth is just too small and fragile a basket for the human race to keep all its eggs in.
--Robert A. Heinlein

I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space. There are too many accidents that can befall life on a single planet. But I'm an optimist. We will reach out to the stars.
-- Stephen Hawking, interview with Daily Telegraph, 2001

Under the wide and starry sky,
Dig the grave and let me lie.
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will.

This be the verse you grave for me:
Here he lies where he longed to be;
Home is the sailor, home from sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.

--Stevenson, Robert Louis (1850-1894). A Child's Garden of Verses and Underwoods. 1913. , XXI. Requiem

That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.
--Neil Armstrong, Upon landing on the Moon, July 20, 1969

We've never lost an American in space and we're certainly not going to lose one on my watch. Failure is not an option.
--Gene Kranz, Apollo 13 Mission Director

"Boy, that was a real fireball of a ride," as the space capsule in which he was traveling was falling through space into Earth's atmosphere.
--John Glenn, Feb. 20, 1962

"There, spread out as far as I could see were literally thousands of tiny luminous objects that glowed in the black sky like fireflies. I was riding slowly through them, and the sensation was like walking backwards through a pasture where someone had waved a wand and made all the fireflies stop right where they were and glow steadily." From a Life magazine article describing his first day in space.
--John Glenn

There are so many benefits to be derived from space exploration and exploitation; why not take what seems to me the only chance of escaping what is otherwise the sure destruction of all that humanity has struggled to achieve for 50,000 years?
--Isaac Asimov, speech at Rutgers University

Many, and some of the most pressing, of our terrestrial problems can be solved only by going into space. Long before it was a vanishing commodity, the wilderness as the preservation of the world was proclaimed by Thoreau. In the new wilderness of the Solar System may lie the future preservation of mankind.
--Arthur C. Clarke, "What Is to Be Done?" in Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 1992

"As our knowledge of the universe in which we live increases, may God grant us the wisdom and guidance to use it wisely."
--John Glenn, From an address to Congress, Feb. 26, 1962.
