Deep Space Quotes

Jack Harper: Who are you? What aren't you telling me?
Julia: Jack, I...
Jack Harper: What were you doing on the Odyssey? What was your mission?
Julia: It was a research flight to Titan. My first. That's what it was supposed to be. Six weeks to launch, deep space scanners picked up an alien object. We were

reassigned to investigate. They put us all in delta. They must have woken you and Victoria first.
Jack Harper: What?
Julia: That object was the Tet, Jack. The Tet was our mission.

Dr. Nogrady: It is the strong opinion of the Chinese that what crashed over Hong Kong was some kind of... communications ship.
Secretary of Defense: You're saying that a "flying telephone" cratered and took out 20,000 people?
Dr. Nogrady: What I'm saying is that our visitors seems extraordinarily concerned about establishing a line

of communication back home.
Air Force Chief of Staff: If they lost their communications ship, how could they do that?
Dr. Nogrady: The same way we did. Our facility in Hawaii has the ability to transmit a signal to deep space via the Landsat-7 satellite. We believe it's for that asset that they've domed the islands. We're looking at an

extinction-level event.

George Taylor: And that completes my final report until we reach touchdown. We're now on full automatic, in the hands of the computers. I have tucked my crew in for the long sleep and I'll be joining them soon. In less than an hour, we'll finish our sixth month out of Cape Kennedy. Six months in deep space - by our time, that is. According to Dr. Haslein's

theory of time, in a vehicle travelling nearly the speed of light, the Earth has aged nearly 700 years since we left it, while we've aged hardly at all. Maybe so. This much is probably true - the men who sent us on this journey are long since dead and gone. You who are reading me now are a different breed - I hope a better one. I leave the 20th century with no regrets. But one more thing - if

anybody's listening, that is. Nothing scientific. It's purely personal. But seen from out here everything seems different. Time bends. Space is boundless. It squashes a man's ego. I feel lonely. That's about it. Tell me, though. Does man, that marvel of the universe, that glorious paradox who sent me to the stars, still make war against his brother? Keep his neighbor's children starving?

Dr. Weir: What was made public about the Event Horizon - that she was a deep space research vessel, that her reactor went critical, and that the ship blew up - none of that is true. The Event Horizon is the culmination of a secret government project to create a spacecraft capable of faster-than-light flight.
Smith: Uhm, excuse me. See, you can't actually do

that.
