Margaret Lazarus Dean
“But when launches were delayed, everything moved into a strange sort of limbo...a launch that was supposed to have gone up one morning but wouldn't attempt again until the next made us all feel we were living in a day that didn't count, a day between parentheses.”
Margaret Lazarus Dean, The Time It Takes to Fall

Saroj Aryal
“Sad they are throwing out earth’s resources into outer space in the name of science. And poor people get enchanted with those shitty photographs of Mars and Dark holes.”
Saroj Aryal
