Aero-News: Quote of the Day
ANN's Quote of the Day usually derives from current news,
though we reserve the right to pick quotes out of history that have
a bearing on the day's events and issues.
Sometimes, you'll find them timely and in keeping with the
content of the day's news... and sometimes, they'll just be
thought-provoking.
Reader suggestions and comments are welcome... and if
particularly intriguing, timely, or poignant, may themselves become
future Quotes of the Day.
Let us hear from you, folks!
Aero-News Quote of the Day
"The new enthusiasm from the public is already leading
to a rebirth of the space industry, with a new generation of 'space
cadets' -- those students enrolling in the burgeoning university
programs for astronautical -- rather than aeronautical
--engineering programs, spearheading a 'next-generation' of space
industry careers and experts. I am happy and proud to be part of
this new wave of economic activity and a new start on the human
exploration and development of the Infinite Frontier! This is truly
revolutionary."

tumor, the cause of his death early on the morning of October 10.
He had resigned from an operational role in SpaceDev in September
2006. Benson retained a seat on the Board of Directors of SpaceDev
where he had continued to support the Company that he founded in
1997.
