"My next topic is infinity."

"X25 to Earth...I think there's something you should know."

'Kleinzweck's theory is that the Universe is expanding because it's INHALING.'

"Look - the FIRST EVER picture of a black hole!! What do you think?"

"Just because the universe is expanding doesn't give you an excuse to expand with it, Fred."

"If you're looking for that new planet you discovered, she moved out yesterday!"

The Vasimr engine uses radio waves to ionize and heat propellant to do just that. That's pretty impressive. How'd you know that radio waves could ionize and heat propellant when you were just a kid? Not that part. Just the "40 days" part. Less impressive.

"The universe will either continue expanding at its present rate, expand at a slower rate, or begin to contract. None of this, however, can explain why it sometimes takes four days to get a letter from Chicago."
