Matt: I'm sorry. I... I know I should be grateful for what I do have.
Walt: We're all on different journeys, Matt. There's no need to apologize.

You know, when I was little, kids used to say that when people died, they'd go up into the sky. And I was like, "No, that's where my mom goes. She's not dead; she's an astronaut."

Lex

Rohit: The evil King Ravana has taken Sita away in his fire-burning Vimana.
Ram: The Vimana is his spaceship.
Rohit: And so Ram --
Ram: That's me. I'm Ram.
Rohit: That's right.
Rohit: And Ram becomes friends with Hanuman, the monkey god, and together they defeat King Ravana and rescue Sita, and Ram becomes king. And Ram is given the fire-burning spaceship. It is as bright as the sun, and the excellent chariot rises up into the atmosphere, higher and higher, to the stars, to the Moon, and to Mars.

Matt: Look, I met a guy here who says if I hide my progress during tomorrow's tests, I'll get more time here. I know it's the last thing either of us wants is for me to be in this hospital another second longer, but --
Emma: But staying in is gonna help you recover?
Matt: There's a chance it'll help me walk, yeah.
Emma: Then, you need to stay.
Matt: But Lex needs me right now more than ever.
Emma: Yes, she does. But you don't need to be at home to be her dad.

We will go to the stars, and the Moon, and Mars on this excellent chariot!

Rohit

Ram: You know, after Rohit died, everything changed. My parents, they, um, they basically shut down from me, and from life. It was like after he died, I... I lost them too. I lost my family.
Emma: That must be so painful.
Ram: If I'm ever lucky enough to have someone stand beside me like he did, and like you did, I'm not gonna be afraid. I won't ever let her go.

You're not used to being bad at something. Now that you have difficulty, you can't accept it.

Mei

Mei: I'm looking right at you.
Lu: But our... our spacecraft is far too small to be seen by telescope, even if the sky were clear and you had my coordinates.
Mei: Well, that's very literal of you. But that I cannot see you doesn't change the simple fact I'm looking right at you.

Lu: This mission was taken from you, and they reassigned you somewhere else. Something definitely has happened. It's my fault. I'm so sorry.
Mei: It's because I love you that the mission was taken from me, and I will never be sorry for that.

Women hold up half the sky.

Lu

Whatever's gonna happen to me is gonna happen. You being here is not gonna change that, okay? You understand? And when I'm feeling down in here, thinking about how brave you're being gives me strength. And you going back to school, getting back to your life, you have no idea how much that helped me today.

Matt

Emma: Lu, there's no excuse for what happened to you out there, and it happened on my watch. But I can promise you this: you will never receive an unwanted look or word from the crew again. Look, I don't know what to say here, except I'm so sorry about Mei. I don't... I don't know the first thing about your relationship, and it's none of my business. But I do know what it feels like to be apart from the people you care about. How you live and die with every phone call. And if... suddenly, those calls were taken away... Lu, I can't even imagine. I didn't know Mei terribly well, but she was the best CAPCOM I ever worked with. And it may sound silly, but I was always so impressed with her English. She speaks it better than most Americans. You speak it well too.

AWAY Quotes

Reporter: Why should we care more about Mars than we do our own planet?
Emma: We shouldn't. Of course, we should care about social imperatives. But in the US alone, we spend a trillion dollars each year on the military, and mostly in case the countries represented here decide to blow each other off the face of the Earth. This mission, it costs a fraction of that, as we work together, repurposing those same tools of destruction for discovery.
Kwesi: At this very moment, there's a team of astronauts on the Moon, mining polar ice caps for fuel and water.
Misha: Water that will be pumped into the hull of our ship to shield us from radiation, allowing us to travel safely from the Moon to Mars.
Emma: Reaching Mars... might prove to be the greatest achievement. Not only for science, but for the future of our planet.

Yeah, but you gotta be the one that wants to take the shot!

Emma
