Penn Jillette
“I was asking people, "Have you ever seen a night launch before?"

One guy answered, "Not from the outside, no."

You have to be careful about trying to be cool at a Rockwell party.”
Penn Jillette, Penn & Teller's How to Play in Traffic

Abhijit Naskar
“NASA, ISRO, CNSA, ESA, KARI, JAXA (and more) - these represent the real democratic aspirations of humankind's endeavors of curiosity into space, whereas SpaceX, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic these are the new-age posterboys of space imperialism.”
Abhijit Naskar, Tum Dunya Tek Millet: Greatest Country on Earth is Earth
