The Moon and Mars were the two most likely candidates for life in the solar system; what exists beyond our solar system is mere guesswork.

Mars is the only place in the solar system where it's possible for life to become multi-planetarian.

I'd love to go into space again if there were a mission to Mars. I'd also love to go to a completely different planetary system, out of our solar system.

We're going to understand that there is life on other bodies in the solar system.

We should be ready to reach out beyond our planet and beyond our solar system to find out what is really going on out there.

The solar system should be viewed as our backyard, not as some sequence of destinations that we do one at a time.
