“I firmly believe that we who are alive and can think today-in the closing years of the 20th century-have a commitment to our species to make sure that the flicker of movement we have thus managed in space stays sufficiently kindled so that the people of the 21st century can build upon and extend the human abode from Earth to the cosmos beyond.” PeopleThinkingYearsBelieveHumansTodayEarthSpaceAliveCenturyMovementCommitmentSpeciesCosmos21st Century20th CenturyClosingFlickerAbode Author:Paul Levinson
“If two or three hundred years from now an earthbound civilization is dying ... and they look back at the opportunity that we have here at the close of the twentieth century to move out into space and they see that we didn't do anything with it ... I don't want history to judge us on having blown this opportunity, and I think history will judge us on this more than on any other issue.” IfsThinkingWantYearsLooksTwoMovingThreeOpportunitySpaceIssuesCenturyDyingJudgingCivilizationHundredTwentieth Century Author:Paul Levinson
