"All of a sudden, space isn't friendly. All of a sudden, it's a place where people can die...Many more people are going to die. But we can't explore space if the requirement is that there be no casualties; we can't do anything if the requirement is that there be no casualties."
Isaac Asimov
"Many of us have known those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Officers, scientists, civilians who gave their lives in the hope for galactic peace.
