The most important thing is to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become.
“ The only thing I can do is to keep trying to do my best.”
“ To sit back and let fate play its hand out and never influence it is not the way to live.”
“ I think the future of space exploration is very bright.”
" To look out at this kind of creation out here and not believe in God is to me impossible."
