Scott Horowitz Mission Quotations

I think aggressively touching the moon is an understatement. What this mission buys is an early attempt to know what some of the resources we're going to have ... we know for sure that for human exploration to succeed we're going to have to essentially live off the land.

The Apollo program was very goal-driven. Get people to the moon. Get them back safely. Mission done. The big difference with the (new) exploration vision is that the moon is not the goal. The moon is a steppingstone.

We were really happy to take part in delivering Expedition Three to orbit and they're having a great mission right now up there on the space station.

What this mission buys us is an early attempt at getting to know what some of the resources are there that have large implications on what we do in future exploration, especially in the near term as we go and do the missions to the Moon and as we're preparing to go . . . to Mars. We know for sure that for human exploration to succeed, we're going to have to learn eventually to live off the land.
