“If I could get one message to you it would be this: the future of this country and the welfare of the free world depends upon our success in space. There is no room in this country for any but a fully cooperative, urgently motivated all-out effort toward space leadership. No one person, no one company, no one government agency, has a monopoly on the competence, the missions, or the requirements for the space program.” IfsWorldPersonsCountryGovernmentWould BeSpaceRoomsEffortCompanyDependsMessagesProgramMissionsWelfareAgencyIf I CouldMotivatedRequirementsMonopolyCompetenceCooperativesFree WorldSpace ProgramGovernment Agencies Author:Lyndon B.

“Human life is fragile: we live in the space between one breath and the next. We often try to maintain an illusion of permanence, through what we do, say, wear, buy, and how we enjoy ourselves and who and how we love. Yet it is an illusion that is constantly being undermined by change and death. We can use diamonds in whatever way we like. They are empty things, pretty as water, yet within them—if we want to see it—there is blood, dust, love, curses, and suffering. There is desire to make someone happy, there is admiration, there is ostentation…and there is a company’s profit curve.” IfsWayWantTryingHumansUseLife IsDesireSufferingNextEnjoyWaterSpaceCompanyBloodIllusionEmptyBreathsProfitDustHuman LifeCurseAdmirationFragileDiamondCurvesPermanenceSpace BetweenOstentationLife Is FragileMake Someone Happy Author:Victoria Finlay
“I believe that space travel will one day become as common as airline travel is today. I'm convinced, however, that the true future of space travel does not lie with government agencies -- NASA is still obsessed with the idea that the primary purpose of the space program is science -- but real progress will come from private companies competing to provide the ultimate adventure ride, and NASA will receive the trickle-down benefits.” BelieveDoeStillsIdeasRealGovernmentTodayLyingPurposeI BelieveSpaceCommonCompanyProgressAdventureOne DayBenefitsProgramUltimateConvincedPrimariesObsessedAgencyCompetingAirlineNasaSpace TravelSpace ProgramTrickle DownGovernment Agencies Book:Magnificent Desolation: The Long Journey Home from the Moon Source: Magnificent Desolation: The Long Journey Home from the Moon

“Have you ever rightly considered what the mere ability to read means? That it is the key which admits us to the whole world of thought and fancy and imagination? to the company of saint and sage, of the wisest and the wittiest at their wisest and wittiest moment? That it enables us to see with the keenest eyes, hear with the finest ears, and listen to the sweetest voices of all time? More than that, it annihilates time and space for us.” WorldMeanWholeMomentsEyeReadingVoiceImaginationAbilitySpaceCompanyKeysEarsMereSaintWhole WorldAll TimeFancyFinestSageTime And SpaceSweetestWisestWittiest Book:Democracy and other Addresses Source: Democracy and other Addresses

“As children, we had access to all the open space imaginable. We would set up camps in rural Utah where the Tempest Company was at work laying pipe.
