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

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.

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.

Even if love doesn't stay, be thankful for the visit.

There is no other definition of socialism valid for us than that of the abolition of the exploitation of man by man.

I have writing songs on my own for about six years.

Were kind of in our own cocoon making it. Every once in a while you stick your head up for a second, and you just cant believe how successful the show has become.

Forgive, but don't forget

Middlemarch, the magnificent book which with all its imperfections is one of the few English novels for grown-up people.
