Rusty Schweickart Quotes

We got to the moon Picture Quote #1

By preventing dangerous asteroid strikes, we can save millions of people, or even our entire species. And, as human beings, we can take responsibility for preserving this amazing evolutionary experiment of which we and all life on Earth are a part Picture Quote #1

An asteroid can literally destroy 80 or 90 percent of the species that are alive on Earth. These are big events. I mean, this is called extinction Picture Quote #1

It is fantastic to think that one day we may be able to access fuel, materials and even water in space instead of digging deeper and deeper into our planet for what we need and then dragging it all up into orbit, against Earth’s gravity Picture Quote #1

You see the Earth as a bright blue and white Christmas tree ornament in the black sky. It’s so small and so fragile - you realize that on that small spot is everything that means everything to you; all of history and art and death and birth and love Picture Quote #1

Asteroids are deep-space bodies orbiting the Sun, not the Earth, and traveling to one would mean sending humans into solar orbit for the very first time. Facing those challenges of radiation, navigation and life support on a months-long trip millions of miles from home would be a perfect learning journey before a Mars trip Picture Quote #1

I don’t want people to spend their nights worrying about getting hit by asteroids. But I do want them to encourage their political leaders to invest in the insurance, which will allow us to prevent it from happening Picture Quote #1

No government in the world today has explicitly assigned the responsibility for planetary protection to any of its agencies Picture Quote #1

There’s no accepted global policy on what to do about asteroid impacts Picture Quote #1

This whole issue of limits to growth, which provides a psychological, as well as a physical, cap on potential expansion of activity and awareness, has had a very depressing effect on many people... I don’t for a moment think that there’s any concept which anyone’s working with now which will be followed as a straightforward scenario. But the idea embodied in concepts such as space colonization or space industrialization, or availability of nonterrestrial resources, is fundamental, and it will change the way in which people look at the future Picture Quote #1

We are now able to very slightly and subtly reshape the solar system in order to enhance human survival Picture Quote #1
