"There is no planet B [habitable to human beings]."

"I would never say we can never reach the stars and possible habitable planets."

"The discovery of Gliese 12 b is a stepping stone towards finding potentially habitable planets."

The discovery of several smaller and cooler stars is "the best bet for finding habitable planets."

"[W]e're more likely to detect planets in the habitable zone with TESS [NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite]."

Will We Find Another Inhabitable Planet?

"No human is going to Mars anytime soon, if ever. "

"We will not go [to Mars] until the American people and the international community are ready and decide that it is a priority."

"No earlier than 2040 and no later than 2100."

NASA may send humans to Mars "approximately in the 2030s."

"NASA is developing the capabilities needed to send humans to an asteroid by 2025 and Mars in the 2030s."

"If those [uncrewed] landings go well, then the first crewed flights to Mars will be in 4 years."

"We will lead the world in space and reach Mars before the end of my term."

Will the US Send Astronauts to Mars?

Four astronauts launch to the space station as NASA grapples with strange twist in leak issue

This nomination threatens judicial independence by rewarding personal loyalty over legal qualifications. Bove's history of prosecutorial misconduct and his role in politically motivated firings at DOJ raise serious questions about his fitness for a lifetime federal judgeship. His willingness to potentially defy court orders shows dangerous disregard for constitutional principles.
