Failure is not an option. Many say exploration is part of our destiny, but it’s actually our duty to future generations and their quest to ensure the survival of the human species. Spaceflights cannot be stopped. This is not the work of any one man or even a group of men. It is a historical process which mankind is carrying out in accordance with the natural laws of human development. We want to explore. We’re curious people. Look back over history, people have put their lives at stake to go out and explore … We believe in what we’re doing. Now it’s time to go. To go places and do things that have never been done before – that’s what living is all about. Across the sea of space, the stars are other suns. Where ignorance lurks, so too do the frontiers of discovery and imagination.
