We Have An Infinite Amount

I Think No Matter Where We Go In Space To Me The Important Thing Is Not Only Getting There And Getting Back, But It's Also Doing Research, Because That Opens Up As A Possibility With That New Distance Of Travel In Space.

I Don't Like The Way The Whole Thing Has Developed. And I Just Hope That We Develop Our Own Transportation System, Both Spacecraft And New Boosters, As Soon As Possible. I Hate To Think That We May Be Out There Seven To Ten Years Out And Dependent On The Russians For Our Journey Into Space.

I Think Sometime We Will Go To Mars And I Think We'll Explore It With Humans Sometime, But I Think It's Really Wise To Do All The Robotic Exploration Ahead Of Time And Learn As Much As Possible. Once We Have Learned As Much As Possible With The Robots, Then That's The Time To Send People, And Let Them Then Continue The Research That The Robots Have Started.

We Had A Lot Of Confidence That There Was Going To Be A Successful Mission. We Weren't Off On Some Suicide Effort, Certainly [with Friendship 7].

Because Now, You Know, It's Going To Be A Number Of Years Yet Before We Have Our Own New Boosters And New Spacecraft To Go To Our Own International Space Station And Proceed With All The Research That We Spent $100 Billion Putting Up There To Give Us That Research Capability For The Future For People Right Here On Earth.
