John Glenn

To me, we have never really exploited our ability in low-Earth orbit.

The space station is the most unique laboratory we've ever built. The reason we have it is to do research on materials, people, medical matters, pharmaceuticals - the possibilities are nearly endless.

The Discovery was the most intricate, complex machine man has ever built. It's a testament to our time.

The political graveyards are full of people who don't respond.

Quite often, while I'm getting up in the morning, I think my warranty is running out on these body parts because it's not working quite the way it used to.

I liked flying, when I got into it, loved it. And I found I was very good at it. I'm not modest about the fact that I was a good pilot.

It's something to see a satellite being launched from another satellite.

I didn't see Saddam Hussein as being quite the danger that some other people did.

Fear connotes something that interferes with what you're doing.

You can't relive your life.

You should run your life not by the calendar but how you feel, and what you're interests are and ambitions.

Old folks have dreams and ambitions too, like everybody else. Don't sit on a couch someplace.
