The future infrared space telescope will cover that area in a much more efficient manner.

The Next Generation Space Telescope, which will be located much further away from the Earth than the Hubble Space Telescope presently is, will also explore the infrared part of the spectrum.

Hubble is very close to my heart, and going back to Hubble, because I was there once already in 1993, is really a great privilege for me.

Then, much later, my next dream was to become an astronaut, and I was fortunate to realize that dream, also.

As far as the radio waves part of the spectrum, we can do these adequately from the ground because the atmosphere is basically transparent to our radio waves.

My first dream as a child was to become a pilot. My second dream was to become an astronomer, and I pursued in parallel efforts and studies in these two areas.

My name was on the list very early after these announcements were made through the newspapers in Europe.

I would say the most help I got was from my dad. My dad is a civil engineer in Switzerland; he's 90 years old now, so he's no longer active as a civil engineer, but still a very active person.

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

Sometimes when you're upset it's so easy to forget what's real and go for what makes you feel better. (131)

My heart is warm with the friends I make And better friends I'll not be knowing Yet there isn't a train I wouldn't take No matter where it's going.

I don't write my music for Sony. I write it for the people who are screaming down the road crying to a full-blast stereo.

Ben Starling, you better not have bought your token black friend a racist shirt

If I had to choose between a narrow-minded woman or a man who was an enlightened thinker, I would vote for the man.

I built a series of supporters that had my back. I never abused that trust. You can't cry wolf. You have to solve most problems yourself.

The soul is perfected by knowledge and virtue.

Without language, it is safe to say that man would not have become fully human.
