2. “No one with a living room radio that was a piece of furniture at the time would say, gee. I want to carry that around on my hip pocket. That was not a thought until NASA initiated this whole exercise. So there’s an influence that’s not just spinoff.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Innovation, NASA, Technology, Progress, Science
3. “The problem is that many people operate on the assumption that NASA should go to Congress every year with hat in hand and justify it every year. Well, I see it as the greatest economic driver that there ever was. Economic drivers don't need justification.” Neil deGrasse Tyson NASA, Space Exploration, Economy, Science Funding, Innovation
6. “Fortunately, there's another handy driver that has manifested itself throughout the history of cultures. The urge to want to gain wealth. That is almost as potent a driver as the urge to maintain your security. And that is how I view NASA going forward - as an investment in our economy.” Neil deGrasse Tyson Wealth, Economy, NASA, Investment, Security
8. “When Kennedy said, ‘Let’s go to the moon,’ we didn’t yet have a vehicle that wouldn’t kill you on launch. He said we’ll land a man on the moon in eight years and bring him back. That was an audacious goal to put forth in front of the American people.” Neil deGrasse Tyson Moon, NASA, Ambition, History, Space Travel
11. “Only realistic flight schedules should be proposed, schedules that have a reasonable chance of being met. If in this way the government would not support them, then so be it. NASA owes it to the citizens from whom it asks support to be frank, honest, and informative.” Richard P. Feynman NASA, Honesty, Government, Space, Realism
12. “I'm substantially concerned about the policy directions of the space agency. We have a situation in the U.S. where the White House and Congress are at odds over what the future direction should be. They're sort of playing a game and NASA is the shuttlecock that they're hitting back and forth.” Neil Armstrong NASA, Policy, Politics, Space Exploration, Government Decisions
13. “NASA has been one of the most successful public investments in motivating students to do well and achieve all they can achieve. It's sad that we are turning the programme in a direction where it will reduce the amount of motivation and stimulation it provides to young people.” Neil Armstrong NASA, Student Motivation, Public Investment, Education Impact, Future Vision
