«Outer space is a pleasant place
A place where you can be free
There's no limit to the things you can do
Your thought is free and your life is worthwhile
Space is the Place.»

«Ra's overriding concern was that NASA had launched a program which would result in the segregation of space especially as he had seen the US space program first take shape in the segragated town of Huntsville, Alabama.»
