About this Quote

This quote by Story Musgrave speaks to the way in which we have typically communicated our history in space. We have actually focused on the actions of people and the sequential list of occasions that have happened, rather than the human experience of having done those things. This recommends that we have not completely explored the psychological and psychological impact of area exploration on the people involved. We have actually not taken the time to comprehend the personal stories of those who have actually ventured into area, and the special experiences they have actually had. By focusing entirely on the actions and events, we are missing out on the richness of the human experience. It is essential to acknowledge the value of the human experience in space exploration, and to put in the time to explore and comprehend the stories of those who have actually ventured into area.
