Over the years, I think I've matured in my spiritual evolution and development to understand a bit more than the narrow religious thinking - to move beyond that through a sort of perfection of the grandiose nature of the universe, and how perfect it is it in its sense and how satisfied we should all be in our place in that.

For every winner, there's a loser. And that person didn't really need to lose. They just didn't understand the game plan.

There's no doubt that there will be many trials and tribulations along the way in taming space for the benefit of all, unmasking its truths and using the boundless resources available to us. Taking a chance allows us to seek new horizons -- and we all benefit from being horizon hunters.

I'm not in favor of just taking short-term isolated situations and depleting our resources to keep our climate just the way it is today.

Exploration is wired into our brains. If we can see the horizon, we want to know what's beyond.

My sister called me "Buzzard" when I was a baby - she couldn't say "Brother" so I've been Buzz my whole life.

Many say exploration is part of our destiny, but it's actually our duty to future generations and their quest to ensure the survival of the human species.
