Life science research can be done on multiple platforms. Since we have a very small number of people flying into space, the more people you have, the better.

It's such a long mission and we get to spend so much time in space... we're doing such exciting research. And I don't want to overemphasize the life science research, but as a physician the life science research that we're doing is extremely exciting.

We're looking at Earth science, observing our planet. Also space science, looking at the ozone in the atmosphere around our Earth. Also looking at life science. And on a human level, using ourselves as test subjects.

We're poised to have an incredible surge forward in life science research . . . and make good use of this money.

Science is the best idea humans have ever had. The more people who embrace that idea, the better.

We are all stars, “All-stars" and “Rock-stars” in that sense of the matter.
