Hubble isn't just a satellite; it's about humanity's quest for knowledge.
Hubble showed us the marvel and majesty of stars being born.
Hubble uniquely has been able to look in the atmosphere of a planet orbiting a nearby star and figure out what's in that atmosphere.
As a young boy growing up on the South Side of Chicago, I was inspired by the nascent space age.
There's no question that if we stay on planet Earth and never leave, that eventually we'll be wiped out.
The first thing to know about space food - it is the ambiance; it is the environment. It is not the food.
The James Webb Space Telescope was specifically designed to see the first stars and galaxies that were formed in the universe.
To help enable the kind of science Hubble is performing makes my life worthwhile.
I got lucky and got assigned to Hubble.
The only reason Hubble works is because we have a space shuttle.
Once in a while, the universe lets you be free alone and in peace.
Science at NASA is all about exploring the endless frontier of the Earth and space.
The moon's a nice place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there.
Going to Mars would make NASA great again.
Regardless of what dreams you have, work very hard, play very hard, and have fun.
Getting a team of scientists on Mars could be transformative.
Science fiction has been an inspiration to generations of scientists and engineers, and the film series 'Star Wars' is no exception.
Absolutely the most fun thing to do in space and rewarding thing, in many ways, is to look back at planet Earth.
I think it's really a sign of great American strength that we do invest the money we do in technology, in these hard projects, in NASA.
We need to move off the planet. And Mars is the next best place.
I have had the privilege to be a member of many high-performance teams at NASA, both on and off the planet.
I'm an incurable romantic. But I'm not an adrenaline junkie.
The Martian atmosphere is very thin. It's like our atmosphere at 100,000 feet.
There are some things worthy of risking your life for.
I kind of feel like I found my cause in life servicing the Hubble Space Telescope.
After my spacewalks, I am quite exhilarated but also tired, similar to a workout on Planet Earth.
