I didn't start skiing until I was 50. My wife Lois taught me how to ski. I'm proficiently conservative.

I participated with great honor in becoming one of the first to land on the moon, and now I am devoting and have devoted many years of my life to enabling Americans to lead international nations to permanence on the planet Mars.

I felt pretty confident in relieving myself, since I had the urge.

There should be an international lunar base. That is certainly doable.

We should go boldly where man has not gone before. Fly by the comets, visit asteroids, visit the moon of Mars. There's a monolith there. A very unusual structure on this potato shaped object that goes around Mars once in seven hours. When people find out about that they're going to say 'Who put that there? Who put that there?' The universe put it there. If you choose, God put it there.

We're number one on the runway.

Space architectures capable of supporting a permanent human presence on Mars are extraordinarily complex, with many different interdependent systems.
