I’m never going to go to Mars, but I’ve helped inspire, thank goodness, the people who built the rockets and sent our photographic equipment off to Mars.
Ray Bradbury
We constantly learn new lessons up here. The experiences we gather will enable us to establish a long-term station on the moon and to go on to Mars.
John Phillips
Now, the downside to conservation is that so much is done for the public, which almost always mars the environment that one wanted to conserve.
Arne Jacobsen
I think Bruno Mars is a great example of a great voice and classic songwriting with a twist that makes it contemporary. I think he’s done a great job of it. I think Katy Perry has undeniable songs for what she does, for that pop market. And, if we’re talking in the truly pop market, I would say those two.
Kara DioGuardi
A century ago, scientists believed there was only one obvious stomping ground for alien biology in our solar system: Mars. Because it was reminiscent of Earth, Mars was assumed to be chock-a-block with animate beings, and its putative inhabitants got a lot of column inches and screen time.

Felix Baumgartner
I would love to set foot on another planet – lunar or Mars or somewhere.
Peggy Whitson
It is quite moving to hold a piece of Mars in your hands and to reflect on its incredible interplanetary journey, and the science that gives confidence as to the origin of this unusual rock.
Steve Jurvetson

Thomas Rhett
At drama school, I was told, ‘Lay off the chips, or you’ll never play Juliet.’ Sometimes, in the stock room of the set of ‘Dinnerladies,’ I’d put away three or four Mars bars while waiting for a scene. Then, at 24, I lost five stone.
Maxine Peake
Mars still remains the astrobiology community’s number one choice for ‘nearest rock with life,’ but there are many researchers who argue that the moons of Jupiter are better bets. In particular, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto are all thought to hide vast oceans of liquid water beneath their icy, outer skins.
Seth Shostak
Is a one-way trip to Mars ever really seriously going to happen? Surely that’s morally reprehensible. However old people are, however much they say they want to go on a one-way mission, people should be thinking about the possibility of returning.
Helen Sharman
‘Mars et Avril’ is a science fiction film. It’s set in Montreal some 50 years in the future. No one had done that kind of movie in Quebec before because it’s expensive, it’s set in the future, and it’s got tons of visual effects, and it’s shot on green screen.
Martin Villeneuve
The year 1999, seventh month, from the sky will come a great King of Terror. To bring back to life the great King of the Mongols, before and after Mars to reign by good luck.

Henry Reed
Mars has been flown by, orbited, smacked into, radar inspected, and rocketed onto, as well as bounced upon, rolled over, shoveled, drilled into, baked, and even laser blasted.
Buzz Aldrin
You need propellants to accelerate toward Mars, then to decelerate at Mars, again to re-accelerate from Mars to Earth, and finally to decelerate back at Earth. Accordingly, the mass of these required propellants, in short, drives our need for innovative launch vehicles.
Buzz Aldrin
If the Chinese are the first to the asteroids or the first to Mars, good for them, as far as I’m concerned.
Alastair Reynolds
If humanity doesn’t land on Mars in my lifetime, I would be very disappointed.
Elon Musk
I almost feel like Mars has been taking care of me for all of these years.
Ann Robinson
Whether Earth was deliberately terraformed, in other words, or whether it was seeded with the spores of life from crashed comets or whether, indeed, life arose here spontaneously and accidentally, it is reasonable to hope that we might find traces of the same kind of process on Mars.
Graham Hancock
To unambiguously settle the questions of whether there was life on Mars, it will take scientists down on the surface.
Ellen Stofan
I’m absolutely compelled for NASA to send international astronauts to Mars to find out if Mars ever harbored life.
John M. Grunsfeld
Mars has long exerted a pull on the human imagination. The erratically moving red star in the sky was seen as sinister or violent by the ancients: The Greeks identified it with Ares, the god of war; the Babylonians named it after Nergal, god of the underworld. To the ancient Chinese, it was Ying-huo, the fire planet.
John Updike
To establish human settlements on the Moon, Mars, or in the free-space between, humans will have to again rapidly adapt. Like early pioneers, there will be no nearby friendly merchants or supportive governments to replace that broken tool.
Rick Tumlinson

Graham Coxon
Mars, the second planet from the sun in our solar system is touted to be the next home for human race in the coming decades if the research and understanding of the planet is cracked by the bigwigs of the science world.
Shweta Basu Prasad
We’re teaming up with a major Hollywood studio, and we’re making a movie called ‘Copper.’ It’s set on Mars in the 24th century. By then we’ve got 27 billion people in the world, copper is the world’s most valuable metal because everything runs on electricity, and there’s no more burning of hydrocarbons.
Robert Friedland
Mars does not belong to ‘America,’ nor to Earth, nor to human beings.
David Grinspoon
Clearly, some creative thinking is badly needed if humans are to have a future beyond Earth. Returning to the Moon may be worthy and attainable, but it fails to capture the public’s imagination. What does get people excited is the prospect of a mission to Mars.
Paul Davies
I don’t go along with going to Moon first to build a launch pad to go to Mars. We should go to Mars from Earth orbit. We have already been to the Moon; we’ve already practiced.
Wally Schirra
My grandfather allowed as how I might even live long enough to see a Mars landing. I haven’t, of course, except in fiction, including my own, and strongly doubt that I ever will.
Pamela Sargent
I believe the biggest impediment we have right now with going to Mars is public commitment. More people need to see themselves as a part of space travel; we need to see more inclusiveness.
Mae Jemison
I think that when humans get around to exploring and building cities and towns on Mars, it will be viewed as one of the great times of humanity, a time when people set foot on another world and had the freedom to make their own world.
Robert Zubrin
Most of the solar system resides beyond the orbits of the asteroids. There is more to learn there about general planetary processes than on Mars.
Carolyn Porco
If NASA is to reach beyond the Moon and someday reach Mars, it must be relieved of the burden of launching people and cargo to low earth orbit. To do that, we must invest more in commercial spaceflight.
Bill Nye
I’ve seen Bruno Mars before, he’s amazing.
Alessandra Ambrosio
People keep talking about how we have to go to Mars. We may want to go to Mars sometime.
John Glenn
The planet Mars – crimson and bright, filling our telescopes with vague intimations of almost-familiar landforms – has long formed a celestial tabula rasa on which we have inscribed our planetological theories, utopian fantasies, and fears of alien invasion or ecological ruin.
David Grinspoon
There should be a water table on Mars.
Heidi Hammel
As a scientist, I want to go to Mars and back to asteroids and the Moon because I’m a scientist. But I can tell you, I’m not so naive a scientist to think that the nation might not have geopolitical reasons for going into space.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The Moon may not be quite as appealing as Mars, but it’s still a complex and poorly understood world, with many questions still unanswered.
Henry Spencer
By going to Mars one day, we will make things better for us here on Earth.
Scott Kelly
We were from totally different social backgrounds. This is what is very hard for an American to understand, but we could have been five guys from Mars.
Bill Bruford
We go to learn about our solar system, to search for life, and to understand what happened to Mars so we avoid it ourselves.
Rick Tumlinson
I really love all types of music. I’m really open to that. I really love Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake and some James Taylor and Elton John stuff.
