If you want poets in space, you'll have to wait.

I grew up in a country that I thought was special. And it was.

I'm sure that there are places in the deserts in Australia that could be similar to where we might want to go on Mars.

In my mind, public space travel will precede efforts toward exploration -- be it returning to the moon, going to Mars, visiting asteroids, or whatever seems appropriate. We've got millions and millions of people who want to go into space, who are willing to pay. When you figure in the payload potential of customers, everything changes.

The much-hyped Ares 1-X was much ado about nothing.

I don't go through life verbalizing what I feel.
