"The greatest threat to humanity is not from limited resources, but from people who think that resources are limited so we need to fight to see who gets them. The threat does not come from there being too many people, but from people who think there are too many people. We need to refute them, not just with words, but with deeds. Opening the space frontier is the way we shall do that. We will show that the true human condition is not that of a set of nations in a struggle for existence, but a family of nations - perhaps a somewhat unruly family to be sure, but a family nevertheless - engaged in a joint effort to expand the prospect of human possibilities. We will show that it is not true that there is only so much to go around, because Earth comes with an infinite sky, and it is wide open."
