By Venturing Into Space, We Improve Life

I Inherited Depression From My Mother's Side Of The Family. Her Father Committed Suicide. She Committed Suicide The Year Before I Went To The Moon.

When I Was A Little Kid, We Only Knew About Our Nine Planets. Since Then, We've Downgraded Pluto But Have Discovered That Other Solar Systems And Stars Are Common. So Life Is Probably Quite Prevalent.

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.

There Are Always Door Openings. And Gradually, It Accumulates. The Opportunities Open Up In Front Of You.

Climate Has Been Changing For Billions Of Years.
