Brian Binnie

If somebody had told me when I was in graduate school, 'Brian, in 35 years you'll get a chance to fly the first commercial spacecraft with no computers,' I'd have said, 'I don't think so. People are not going to be that stupid.

A hybrid human-robot mission to investigate an asteroid affords a realistic opportunity to demonstrate new technological capabilities for future deep-space travel and to test spacecraft for long-duration spaceflight.

The space program is a peaceful project. The next door is opening. We have to go farther into space. But, before that, we need to develop far more improved nutrition and more advanced spacecraft.

Jared Isaacman

I think any pilot with my kind of background, flying ex-military-type aircraft and experimental aircraft, would say that the pinnacle is to be able to pilot a spacecraft - there's no question.

The winners in life treat their body as if it were a magnificent spacecraft that gives them the finest transportation and endurance for their lives.

To try to really land a spacecraft really on another world is really difficult, and if we lose that ability, it's going to be heartbreaking.

I left Aerospace because I wanted to go build, and put spacecraft together.

On the first flight test of any spacecraft, you're going to find surprises.

I have always loved aeroplanes and spacecraft and the design element.

Age can be wonderful for red wine, but not for spacecraft.

Spacecraft are often used to discover and study distant planets and stars.

Space Exploration

Some spacecraft carry astronauts, while others are unmanned probes sent to gather data.

Human vs Unmanned

Different types of spacecraft have specific names like 'satellite', 'probe', or 'lander'.

Specialized Terms

 from the Earth, getting a signal back is so weak. It's meant that our six gigabytes of data that the spacecraft took during the encounter is still being downloaded. And you're really trying to make sure you have everything on the ground before it gets wiped from the spacecraft, before it's gone from humanity forever.

 normally done with spacecraft. Normally, you look at the sky and you know where you point and where you are. In this case, that's not enough. We navigated by looking at landmarks on the comet. We recognized features -- boulders, craters -- and that's how we know where we are respective to the comet.

 went into action and convinced the project to take the spacecraft close to the South Pole, so we could all get a better look. And I must confess, I didn't sleep for two or three nights before that close flyby because if we hadn't seen anything, no one would ever have believed anything I said again.

 What do they all have in common? Among other things, they're huge because they have to carry people, fuel, and all sorts of supplies, scientific instruments, and, in rare cases, planet-killing lasers. But the next real-world generation of spacecraft may be much, much smaller.

Will future spacecraft...

 If either spacecraft is discovered by extraterrestrial life, there's a possibility that they could decipher the clues from the golden record and one day reach our planet. That's particularly true if theirs is a much more technologically advanced civilization.
