I recall the general essence of a quote that I would like to know in full if anyone out there is a fan and can help.
The first commander of the station was asked a question to the effect: “Why must man go into space?” He replied to this effect (this is the quote I’m looking for):
“Scientists tell us in ?? million years the Earth’s sun will burn out. No more earth, no more (poet), no more (philospher), no more Buddy Holly and Marilyn Monroe.”
Can someone help me find the exact quote?
Thanks,
Sir
