The Moment Of Twilight Is Simply Beautiful.

As I Hurtled Through Space, One Thought Kept Crossing My Mind - Every Part Of This Rocket Was Supplied By The Lowest Bidder.

America Needs The Best Education System In The World. We Have It In Higher Education. We Do Not Have It In General Education For All Of Our People - The K-12 Education. Other Nations Are Far, Far Outdoing The United States In That Area. We Still Have The Lead In Research, But Once Again, Other Nations Are Pouring More Into Research Also. We Still Have A Lead, But To Me It's Just Very, Very Important That We Keep That Lead In Basic Research.

America Put More Money Into Research, Into The New And The Unknown Than Any Nation In History, And The Same Thing With Education, And Those Two Things Led Us Into A Worldwide Preeminence In A Very Short Period Of Time.

That Was A Real Fireball.

We (the Doe) Are Poisoning Our People In The Name Of National Security.
