Astronomy
"Man must rise above the Earth—to the top of the atmosphere and beyond—for only thus
will he fully understand the world in which he lives."
-Socrates
"Do not look at stars as bright spots only.
Try to take in the vastness of the universe."
- Maria Mitchell
"Space is for everybody.
It's not just for a few people in science or math,
or for a select group of astronauts. That's our new frontier out there,
and it's everybody's business to know about space."
- Christa McAuliffe
