• When I was a kid, I was a bit of a space geek. I loved the space program and all things NASA. I would read books about our solar system; I had pictures of the Space Shuttle on my bedroom wall. And yes, I even went to Space Camp.

• Tengo la impresión de estar en la base de algo en lo que los seres humanos se concentrarán durante los próximos 1.000 años, si no nos destruimos entretanto. Es posible que dentro de 50 años acabemos fuera de este sistema solar, dando vueltas por el universo, al menos dentro de nuestra galaxia, investigando otras estrellas y otros sistemas.

• Despite the immense distance between our own solar system (including the earth) and the nearest other solar systems, a journey from one system to another is theoretically possible, once an unlimited source of power is developed.

• Changes, cyclic or otherwise, within the solar system or within our galaxy, would seem to be the easy and incontrovertible solution for everything that I have found remarkable in the stratigraphical record.

• If consciousness is the ground of being rather than an epiphenomenon of physical processes, we may find that a basic question asked by modern astronomy and space science- 'Is there life out there?'- should be rephrased. Organic life, as well as intelligence, may already be a property enmeshed in the fabric of the cosmos, brought to fruition through the spiraling dynamics of the solar system and the galaxy, built into the structure of the universe itself.

• From an entertainment point of view, the Solar System has been a bust. None of the planets turns out to have any real-estate potential, and most of them are probably even useless for filming Dune sequels.

• Our civilization has decided that determining the guilt or innocence of men is a thing too important to be trusted to trained men. When it wants a library catalogued, or the solar system discovered, or any trifle of that kind, it uses up its specialists. But when it wishes anything done which is really serious, it collects twelve of the ordinary men standing round. The same thing was done, if I remember right, by the Founder of Christianity.

• Para llegar a la Tierra desde el borde del sistema solar, dependiendo de la época del año y de la posición de los planetas, hay que pasar al menos por Polonia, Prusia y Turquía, y probablemente te sellarían el pasaporte algunas de las otras grandes potencias. Luego, a medida que te acercas al mundo, llegas a un punto, en el continuamente cambiante espacio de carruajes sobre los países, en el que esta complejidad tiene que ceder o fracasar. Y así llegas a la dichosa lubricación del territorio orbital neutral.

• Muchos, y algunos de los más acuciantes, de nuestros problemas terrestres sólo pueden resolverse yendo al espacio. Mucho antes de que se convirtiera en un bien en vías de desaparición, Thoreau proclamó la naturaleza como preservación del mundo. En el nuevo desierto del Sistema Solar puede residir la futura preservación de la humanidad.

• As someone fairly committed to the death of our solar system and ultimately the entropy of the universe, I think the question of what we should worry about is irrelevant in the end.

• Music can be all things to all men. It is like a great dynamic sun in the center of a solar system which sends out its rays and inspiration in every direction... It is as if the heavens open and a divine voice calls. Something in our souls responds and understands.

• Now when we think that each of these stars is probably the centre of a solar system grander than our own, we cannot seriously take ourselves to be the only minds in it all.

• This is in a real sense the capstone of the initial missions to explore the planets. Pluto, its moons and this part of the solar system are such mysteries that New Horizons will rewrite all of the textbooks.

• We're working to lower the cost of spaceflight so that many people can afford to go and so that we humans can better continue exploring the solar system. Accomplishing this mission will take time, and we're working on it methodically.

• Man must at all costs overcome the Earth's gravity and have, in reserve, the space at least of the Solar System. All kinds of danger wait for him on the Earth. . . . We have said a great deal about the advantages of migration into space, but not all can be said or even imagined.

• Sooner or later for good or ill, a united mankind, equipped with science and power, will probably turn its attention to the other planets, not only for economic exploitation, but also as possible homes for man. . . . The goal for the solar system would seem to be that it should become an interplanetary community of very diverse worlds . . . . Through the pooling of this wealth of experience, through this 'commonwealth of worlds,' new levels of mental and spiritual development should become possible, levels at present quite inconceivable to man.

• Hoy la raza humana es una sola ramita en el árbol de la vida, una sola especie en un solo planeta. Por tanto, nuestra condición sólo puede describirse como extremadamente frágil, amenazada por fuerzas de la naturaleza que actualmente escapan a nuestro control, nuestros propios errores y otras ramas del propio árbol en salvaje florecimiento. Visto así, podemos plantear la cuestión del futuro de la humanidad en la Tierra, en el sistema solar y en la galaxia desde el punto de vista tanto de la biología evolutiva como de la naturaleza humana. La conclusión es sencilla: Nuestra elección es crecer, ramificarnos, extendernos y desarrollarnos, o estancarnos y morir.

• Please join me in applauding the ESA - European Space Agency’s historic efforts with the Rosetta Mission and landing a spacecraft on rotating comet. It may seem like a work of fiction, but it is very real, very impressive, and will help us to further uncover the mysteries surrounding the formation of the solar system. They made a beautiful short film using an imaginary landscape to illustrate today’s historic feat.

• The stars associated with the solar system, such as the planets and asteroids (and it should be remembered that the term star in Biblical usage applies to any heavenly body other than the sun and moon) would be particularly likely to be involved, in the view of the heavy concentration of angels, both bad and evil, around the planet Earth.
