Space in general gave us GPS - that's not specifically NASA, but it's investments in space.
There are many Iranians working at NASA. One of the engineers involved with the spaceship that went to Mars is an Iranian.
I feel very strongly that SpaceX would not have been able to get started, nor would we have made the progress that we have, without the help of NASA.
We'd never have got a chance to go outside and look at the earth if it hadn't been for space exploration and NASA.
Many of us in Congress have been calling on the Administration to articulate a bold mission for NASA. It seems that the President is answering that call. I wholeheartedly support his vision for going back to the moon, and from there to worlds beyond.
Only realistic flight schedules should be proposed, schedules that have a reasonable chance of being met. If in this way the government would not support them, then so be it. NASA owes it to the citizens from whom it asks support to be frank, honest, and informative.
When NASA says they're going into space, they don't mean up and back. They mean orbit.
You know, back in the '70s — I remember the '70s, we were told there was global cooling. And everyone was told global cooling was a really big problem. And then that faded.
NASA sends probe to Uranus, people everywhere giggle.
The conquest of space is worth the risk of life.
NASA scientists have discovered a new form of life, unfortunately, it won't date them either.
Every astronaut flew into space for a living. But while NASA has not solved the security problems, I would not put me back into a shuttle - and no other astronaut. The confidence is shaken.
NASA is doing nothing but development. They're not doing research in manned spaceflight at all and I see no reason for them to do that because we already know that it will work and we already know exactly how it will work.
The authorizing committees are free to set their agency budgets, and that includes NASA.
I did not come to NASA to make history.
The Monkees are to the Beatles what 'Star Trek' is to NASA. They are both totally valid in their contexts.
NASA scientists announced the discovery of 50 new planets, among them what they're calling Super Earth. It's indistinguishable from regular earth until it removes its glasses.
I ended up realizing that NASA was unlikely to get me into space, or get me to the moon or beyond, and I needed some other way to drive this.
I think a lot of people in Washington are extremely suspicious of NASA.
That's what we want to do here at Johnson Space Center. I think what we have always brought to NASA and brought to the country is trying to push the boundaries, trying to go to the next level.
