Mark Goddard Quotes

I loved dinosaurs, I loved space, and I thought maybe I'd be the first paleo-astronaut.

The views of the Earth are really beautiful. If you've ever seen a space IMAX movie, that's really what it looks like. I wish I'd had more time just to sit and look out the window with a map, but our science program kept us very busy in the lab most of the time.

Space excites me. My dream is to go to space.
