NASA will send up a big sun shade that will be in orbit between the earth and sun and deflect 2 or 3 percent of the sunshine back into space. It would be cheaper than the international space station.

There is a project that's underway called the interplanetary Internet. It's in operation between Earth and Mars. It's operating on the International Space Station. It's part of the spacecraft that's in orbit around the Sun that's rendezvoused with two planets.

CASIS has to succeed because for it not to succeed would be a huge setback for the International Space Station program.

The building of the International Space Station is something wonderful, and it will show us how to take the next step beyond low-Earth orbit.

We'd never have got a chance to go outside and look at the earth if it hadn't been for space exploration and NASA.

A space station is a rangy monstrosity, a giant erector set built by a madman.
