"I may be in this world, but I sure as hell ain't of it."

"Someone once asked me, 'Sir? How is space?' and I replied, 'It sings, boyo. It bloody sings.' Y'see, earthbound, it's goddamn loud. Noise everywhere, and the air is laced with the stench of smoke and fumes from slow, lumbering automobiles. But space...when I'm up there, there's nothing but the rhythmic rumbling of the engines, the smell of grease, sweat and the hard work that keeps my baby running and the heat rising from the heart of the ship. Space? Space is bloody magnificent."
