John L Phillips quotes
" A civilization that only looks inward will stagnate. We have to keep looking outward; we have to keep finding new avenues for human endeavor and human expression. "

John L Phillips
" After assembly complete, when we have a larger crew on orbit, a more complex vehicle, more laboratories and more robot arms, maybe we'll have room for specialists. But right now we don't. "

John L Phillips
" As a boy I'd always read books about travel and adventure, and even a little sci-fi involving travel and adventure. "

John L Phillips
" Even with only two people on board, where maintenance is a large piece of our working day, we still have time to do scientific research. We have to be ready to support those Shuttle visits in a lot of different ways. "

John L Phillips
" Eventually we want to have six or seven people up there, and as soon as we get a third person up there we can multiply the amount of science up there. "

John L Phillips
" Ever since I've been an astronaut I knew I wanted to do a spacewalk, and it's really comforting to go out with a guy who's done it a lot of times. "

John L Phillips
" Every day, we get a little bit closer to the kind of expertise and the kind of experience we're going to need to go there. I'd love to be the guy walking on Mars. "

John L Phillips
" I flew in the Navy for 10 years. I went to grad school and became a physicist. I wanted to be a scientist. I got a degree in physics and I worked as a scientist for nine years. All that time I was continuing to apply to be an astronaut and after many, many years I finally got their attention. "

John L Phillips
" I never made a career decision based solely on my desire to be an astronaut. I attended the Naval Academy because I wanted to be a Navy pilot. I majored in math because math had always come pretty easily to me and I liked it. "

John L Phillips
" I think it's going to be a very important, unique data set in terms of measuring the behavior of your lower body in space and trying to figure out what we can do to preserve bone and muscle density. "

John L Phillips
" I'm really looking forward to this great adventure of going to a place halfway around the world and launching on a Russian rocket. "

John L Phillips
" If I wasn't doing this kind of exploration, I'd like to be doing some other kind of exploration. It might be more risky, or less risky, but, in the business of exploration, risk is part of the territory. "

John L Phillips
" In the 19th Century people were looking for the Northwest Passage. Ships were lost and brave people were killed, but that doesn't mean we never went back to that part of the world again, and I consider it the same in space exploration. "

John L Phillips
" It is a risky business. We sometimes are guilty of making it look a little too easy, maybe. But it's not easy, what we do. "

John L Phillips
" It so happened that my goals kind of matched my career progression toward becoming an astronaut. "
