The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved good-bye and "slipped the surly bonds of earth" to "touch the face of God."
- Ronald ReaganTo take what we`ve learned working with the shuttle and then remove our dependability on the shuttle, that seemed like a natural progression.
- Jim BakerThis year we`re going to begin a shuttle system that will run all over campus for our students. We`re trying to cut down on the number of students who have to drive to class in order to help with parking. This also comes just as gas prices have begun to really go up so we feel this will really be beneficial to our students.
- John SchmidtIt may be a smaller vehicle and not as impressive or loud as the shuttle. (But) it could be able to launch and land within a few minutes.
- Dennis SmithToday it costs over a billion dollars for a space shuttle flight. The cost'¦ is fundamentally what`s holding us back from becoming a space traveling civilization and ultimately a multi-planet species.
- Elon Musk(What Space X ultimately contributes to space travel might please the government in other ways.) One of the significant innovations of Falcon V is that because it`s got five engines on the main stage, it can actually lose an engine and reach orbit safely, ... If the space shuttle were to lose one of its solid rocket boosters the people on the shuttle would be doomed.
- Elon MuskWhat we`re trying to figure out is how Katrina has affected the shuttle program, ... If you talk to the folks at Michoud, they`re ready to get busy taking care of any tank damage that was done and they want to be back in production in a few weeks. ... Their morale and esprit de corps down there just has to be seen to believed.
- Mike Griffinis very optimistic that the replacement for the shuttle will be built at Kennedy Space Center.
- Mike GriffinOne of the camps I went to was the Shrine Bowl Camp. I think I got some recognition. I had the number one vertical jump (36 inches) and the second fastest shuttle time while I was there.
- Joe HillI wanted to get superimposed on a shuttle launch.
- Mark RobertsWhen people have asked if I`d like to go in the Shuttle, I said you don`t get to fly it, except for landing, which I`d love to do. I wouldn`t go unless I could command it.
- Wally SchirraMy job in space will be to observe and write a journal. I am also going to be teaching a class for students on earth about life in space and on the space shuttle and conducting experiments.
- Christa McAuliffeI will go around the space shuttle and give a guided tour of the major areas and describe what is done in each area. This will be called The Ultimate Field Trip.
- Christa McAuliffeThe Twilight Zone` wasn`t around with the kids. They think going up in space is neat. Within their lifetime, there will be paying passengers on the shuttle.
- Christa McAuliffeEvery shuttle mission`s been successful.
- Christa McAuliffeI`ve had a chance to fly a lot of different airplanes, but it was nothing like the shuttle ride.
- Alan HoffenblumIn my mind I needed a symbol of today`s technology, and I realized that what I wanted to photograph was the Space Shuttle. And so that`s where Places of Power came into being.
- Allan BrophyOur task was doing maintenance and repairs to keep the station in a good state for the return of the shuttle flights and resumption of major ISS construction.
- Allyn LordIn 1983, NASA invited Canada to fly three payload specialists, in part because we had contributed the robotic arm that is used on the shuttle.
- Alvin StarksAfter the Shuttle checks out on its two upcoming flights, it will be ready to take larger components up to the International Space Station later this fall.
- Alvin StarksWe have played a critical role in meeting the new safety standards. The Canadian space industry contributed new tools that make the inspection of the space shuttle possible.
- Alvin StarksThe nature of the shuttle was, we couldn`t put a crew escape system in it.
- Anatoly LebedkoLiving inside the shuttle was a little like camping out. We ended up sleeping in our seats. You had to pay attention to housekeeping, not get things too dirty.
- Anatoly LebedkoHaving the opportunity to fly the first flight of something like a space shuttle was the ultimate test flight.
- Anatoly LebedkoI would truly love to see us go back to the Moon and on to Mars; certainly the shuttle is not the right vehicle to make that happen.
- Anatoly LebedkoThe space shuttle has been a fantastic vehicle. It is unlike any other thing that we`ve ever built. Its capabilities have carried several hundred people into space.
- Anatoly LebedkoThe second game was much easier than I expected. I made some adjustments to my play due to the draft and kept the shuttle low, playing a lot of net shots which troubled him,
- Angelo ForteThe capacity expansion project for P&H Mining which was approved by our board in May will not be completed until the end of fiscal 2006. The only other new capacity that will be coming on line in the next 12 months is the shuttle car and motor centers of excellence for Joy Mining in Lebanon, Kentucky, though, for the most part, Joy Mining is constrained by supply chain limits rather than internal capacity. Therefore, it is imperative that our critical suppliers support us as we strive for increased revenues. Assuming that progress can be made in this area, we now believe that total revenues in the coming 12 months will be in the range of $2.15 to $2.35 billion.
- Angie WatsonWe`ve invited companies to test drive the shuttle landing facility. The key No. 1 thing we wish to demonstrate is that the Kennedy Space Center is willing to support missions other than space.
- Arnold ResnicoffRight now, we`re still addressing what the implications are on the shuttle launch schedule. If I don`t know what those are, that`s an understatement.
- Athena VouloumanosWe`re going to try as hard as we can to get back in space this year because we have a big construction project we`re working on and we need the shuttle to do it, ... So, we`re going to try as hard as we can, but we`re not going to go until we`re ready to go.
- Athena VouloumanosRight now, we`re still addressing what the implications are on the shuttle launch schedule, and if I say I don`t know what those are, that`s an understatement,
- Athena VouloumanosRight now, we`re still addressing what the implications are on the shuttle launch schedule, and if I say I don`t know what those are, that`s an understatement.
- Athena VouloumanosIf I did anything to be given a shot this year, then my goal is not to lose it. I`ve seen that shuttle too many years from the big leagues to the minor leagues, a hot year followed by a not-so-hot year.
