We're in the space exploration business, and the outer solar system is a wild, wooly place. We haven't explored it very well.

It used to be said that Pluto is a misfit. But now we know Earth is the misfit. This is the most populous class of planet in our solar system and we have never sent a mission to this class.

It'll be the fastest spacecraft ever to Jupiter...13 months after launch. We pass the Moon in just nine hours.

Naming celestial objects is usually done by astronomers and professionals. Other people who are interested in space never get the opportunity to do that kind of thing.

The big lesson of planetary science is when you do a first reconnaissance of a new kind of object, you should expect the unexpected.

A river is a river, independent of whether there are other rivers nearby. In science, we call things what they are based on their attributes, not what they're next to.

Competition-driven innovation and price pressure that commercial practices foster can only make human spaceflight ever more common and U.S. leadership in this domain ever clearer.

Talk to me when your nuts are so blue they look like something you can hang on a Christmas tree.

The energy industry is filled with toxic people that are following a corporate government subsidized known biologically toxic agenda.

All he'd learned was that love was a jewel with too many facets to count. Strength and weakness running side by side through it. And that no one could give or take it with any less than an open hand.

Love melts. Love heals. Love unites. Love forgives. A Divine Union that goes beyond time and space, that’s what I’m looking for—

I’d put more distance between us. Having us here, always together hasn’t allowed for any fondness to grow between us.

Dealing w/ Hamas is like dealing w/ a crazy woman who’s trying to kill u – u can only hold her wrists so long before you have to slap her.

A lot of talented actors still have to pay their bills.

There will grow from straws a mighty heap.

Lisa Lampanelli lost 100 pounds, but that's because she was poached for ivory.

I want Canada to be the country that is the best in the world at combining economic growth, social justice and environmental sustainability.
