“So, I decided that whatever I was, wanted to do with my life, it would have to do, it would have to have something to do with the exploration and doing new things.”

“One of the jokes on our flight is that, if we have a normal entry day going, the plan is for me... to actually take the orbiter first and fly it for maybe 10 or 15 seconds and then hand it on over to Scooter.”

“Well, for me it really wasn't a case of deciding to be an astronaut.”

“And, so I set my goals on astronaut because, as a military aviator, it was, I considered that to be about the peak of a flying career.”

“You know, Scooter's going to do the first separation burn; I'm going to do the second separation burn.”

“I consider myself to be very fortunate in my career, my timing has worked out.”

“Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go.”

“Human exploration is something that's been going on for thousands of years, and the models that worked 500 years ago are likely to work again today.”

“It's clear that the only thing that is inhibiting us from doing further human exploration of space is money and the will to do it.”

“In my experience as an actor over so many years, I don't know when I have been touched so deeply on so many levels as I have been by 'The Leftovers' in my three years there. It is a profound exploration of life, of grief, of loss.”

“Pascal Lee is a true pioneer of Mars exploration.”

“Star Trek' is not just about literal exploration, but also the exploration of ourselves.”
