John L. Phillips
There weren't any astronauts until I was about 10. Yuri Gagarin went into space right around my 10th birthday.
2
Burt Rutan
Space travel is the only technology that is more dangerous and more expensive now than it was in its first year. Fifty years after Yuri Gagarin, the space shuttle ended up being more dangerous and more expensive to fly than those first throwaway rockets, even though large portions of it were reusable. It's absurd.
