Man has no choice. Our natural curiosity and irresistible desire to explore and examine what we do not know or do not understand is the driving force that has made homo sapiens the dominant species on the planet. It is not something we choose to do or choose not to do; we cannot help it. Lack of funding, arguments that the money could be better spent, and even tragic accidents such as we have just seen may sometimes delay the inevitable, but we can no more stop our exploration of space than we can stop our basic aggressive instincts and wage war against our fellow men. - David Glew [on the Columbia disaster]

Earth is too small a basket for mankind to keep all it's eggs in.    - Robert Heinlein

The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper. - Unknown
