“One of my first experiences with the space program was with the memorial that was built for the Challenger. When I was in 7th grade my entire class spent the entire school year preparing to launch a spaceship all together. We all had our different jobs that we had to learn how to do, we learned the math that you needed, we learned the practical skills that you needed, and I thought that was really cool. So I think that if you can take a tragedy and find the gold in it and turn it into something positive, that's great.” IfsThinkingYearsFirstsDifferentSchoolTogetherJobsTurnsSpaceClassNeededSkillsBuiltProgramGoldTragedyMathPracticalsGradesPreparingMemorialReally CoolSpaceshipsDifferent JobsSpace ProgramSchool YearsPractical Skills Author:Jonathan Nolan
“I think a colony in space will take much longer than sci fiction writers think. It costs $10,000 to put a pound of anything into near earth orbit. That is your weight in gold. It costs about $100,000 a pound to put you on the moon. And it costs $1,000,000 a pound to put you on Mars.” ThinkingEarthSpaceFictionCostMoonGoldWeightPoundsSci FiMarsColonyFiction WritersOrbit Author:Michio Kaku

“When most people looked at Josie Tyrell, they only saw a certain collection of bones, a selection of forms filling space. But Michael saw past the mouth and the eyes, the architecture of the body, her fleshly masquerade. Other boys were happy enough to enjoy the show, they just wanted to be entertained in the body's shadow theater. But Michael had to come backstage. He went down into the mines, into the dark, and brought up the gold, your new self, a better self. But what good was it if he was just going to leave her behind?” PeopleIfsSelfEnoughShowsBodyEyeWantedPastFormCertainEnjoyDarkSpaceBehindsBoysSawsMinesMouthsShadowGoldTheaterBonesArchitectureCollectionsSelectionFillingMasqueradeNew SelfJosie Author:Janet Fitch
“The Heart of Gold fled on silently through the night of space, now on conventional photon drive. Its crew of four were ill as ease knowing that they had been brought together not of their own volition or by simple coincidence, but by some curious perversion of physics- as if relationships between people were susceptible to the same laws that governed the relationships between atoms and molecules” PeopleIfsHeartTogetherLawNightSimpleSpaceKnowingFourGoldIllPhysicsCuriousEaseAtomsConventionalCoincidenceCrewMoleculesSusceptiblePerversionVolitionPhotonsHeart Of Gold Book:The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: The Trilogy of Five Source: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: The Trilogy of Five
