James Webb: While you’re President, this is going to come true in this country. So you’re going to have both science and technology appreciating your leadership in this field. Without a doubt in my mind. And the young of course see this much better than in my generation. The high school seniors and the college freshman are 100% for man looking at three times what he’s never looked at before. He’s looking at the material of the earth, the characteristics of gravity and magnetism and he’s looked at life on earth.
And he understands the Universe just looking at those three things. Alright, maybe he’s gonna have, material from the Moon and Mars; he’s going to have already a measurement from Venus about its gravity and its magnetic fields. And if we find some life out beyond Earth, these are going to be finite things in terms of the development of the human intellect.
And I predict you are not going to be sorry, no Sir, that you did this.
