Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Once I got there, I felt a little more confident. Everything was how I'd left it. What did I expect? Martians looting my stuff?

There aren’t many people who can say they’ve vandalized a three-billion-dollar spacecraft, but I’m one of them.

With no magnetic field, Mars has no defense against harsh solar radiation. If I were exposed to it, I’d get so much cancer, the cancer would have cancer.

The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.

The bedroom is awesome. Large, spacious, and comfortable. On the first night, I ran into a little problem with the temperature. It was fucking cold. The rover and trailer regulate their own temperatures just fine, but things weren't hot enough in the bedroom. Story of my life.

If I survive this, I'll tell people I was pissing rocket fuel.

If there were no storm, I'd be going directly southeast toward my goal. As it is, going only south, I'm not nearly as fast. I'm traveling 90 kilometers per day as usual, but I only get 37 kilometers closer to Schiaparelli because Pythagoras is a dick.

Dziad ów, Jeremiasz Tichy, jest jednym z najwybitniejszych przedstawicieli naszego rodu. Wychował się w domu starszego brata, Melchiora, słynącego z pobożności cybernetyka i wynalazcy. Poglądów niezbyt radykalnych, nie pragnął Melchior zautomatyzować całej służby bożej, a jedynie chciał przyjść z pomocą najszerszym rzeszom kleru, skonstruował tedy kilka niezawodnych, szybko działających i prostych w obsłudze urządzeń, jak anatemator, ekskomunikator oraz specjalny aparat do rzucania klątw z biegiem wstecznym (dla ich odwoływania). (...) Do dziś znane są zelektryfikowane przezeń buddyjskie młynki modlitewne, zwłaszcza modele wysokoobrotowe, osiągające do 18 000 pacierzy na minutę.
