Shuttle Quotes (page 2)

The space shuttle has been a fantastic vehicle. It is unlike any other thing that we've ever built. Its capabilities have carried several hundred people into space. Robert Crippen
Robert Crippen quote: "The nature of the shuttle was, we couldn't put a crew escape..."

Living inside the shuttle was a little like camping out. We ended up sleeping in our seats. You had to pay attention to housekeeping, not get things too dirty. Robert Crippen
Robert Crippen quote: "Having the opportunity to fly the first flight of something..."
Having the opportunity to fly the first flight of something like a space shuttle was the ultimate test flight. Robert Crippen

Every astronaut flew into space for a living. But while NASA has not solved the security problems, I would not put me back into a shuttle - and no other astronaut. The confidence is shaken. Ulrich Walter
Chris Hadfield quote: "I've had a chance to fly a lot of different airplanes, but it..."

Eugene Cernan quote: "Get the shuttle out of the garage. It's in its prime of its..."

In my mind I needed a symbol of today's technology, and I realized that what I wanted to photograph was the Space Shuttle. And so that's where Places of Power came into being. John Sexton
Press junkets are incredibly annoying. You sit in a chair for three to six hours and have different journalists shuttle in for three minutes at a time, asking cheesy movie questions to get a quick sound bite - and that's their only objective. You can't really move or eat. You're just stuck there. It's pressure, constant pressure. Annabella Sciorra
When people have asked if I'd like to go in the Shuttle, I said you don't get to fly it, except for landing, which I'd love to do. I wouldn't go unless I could command it. Wally Schirra
As skills and energy became more of a demand, people who didn't have skills just got left behind, got shuttled to the side. Education didn't keep up with their promise. Education didn't prepare them for this new world. Jobs went overseas. Julian Bond
After the loss of Columbia a couple of years ago, I think we were reminded of the risk. All of us, though, have always known that the Space Shuttle is a very risky vehicle, much more risky than even flying airplanes in combat. Mark Kelly
