“We are made out of stardust. The iron in the hemoglobin molecules in the blood in your right hand came from a star that blew up 8 billion years ago. The iron in your left hand came from another star. We are the laws of chemistry and physics as they have played out here on Earth and we are now learning that planets are as common as stars. Most stars, as it turns out now, will have planets.” YearsMadeHandsEarthLawTurnsLeftStarsCommonBloodPlanetsYears AgoPhysicsBillionsIronChemistryMoleculesStardustLeft Hand Author:Jill Tarter
“It would be great if we were on multiple planets, but I think that's unrealistic. Hawking says we have to be on multiple planets so an asteroid could come and you'd still have some humans left.

“Standing on the Moon looking back at Earth - this lovely place you just came from - you see all the colours, and you know what they represent. Having left the water planet, with all that water brings to Earth in terms of colour and abudance life, the absence of water and atmosphere on the desolate surface of the Moon gives rise to a stark contrast.” KnowsGivingEarthLeftTermWaterPlanetsMoonStandingSurfaceAbsenceLovelyAtmosphereColourContrastLooking BackStarksDesolate Author:Buzz Aldrin
“They all knew the mothership was coming, they all knew it was a flying saucer, they all knew it came from another planet through the vacuum of space. And so what do they do, to the left of that monument? They set up runway lights. And I'm thinking, if you could travel through the vacuum of space, you don't need runway lights. Runway lights are if you're using air for lift.

“I wrote a piece from North Korea called Visit to a Small Planet which is a line I stole from a play of Gore Vidal's, because it did seem to me as if I had left this planet completely to go on this visit to the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, and it was as if coming back from another spatial body altogether.” IfsPlayBodySeemsLeftLinesPiecesPlanetsGoes OnComing BackKoreaNorth KoreaGoreKoreanSpatialPeninsulas Author:Christopher Hitchens
