Where there is an observatory and a telescope, we expect that any eyes will see new worlds at once.
The big lesson of planetary science is when you do a first reconnaissance of a new kind of object, you should expect the unexpected.
Guests love to be 'wowed' in Las Vegas. They enjoy and embrace new tastes, new flavors, and they come to expect the unexpected in Las Vegas.
The life expectancy of a team is about eight months. Then the next year, it's a whole new team.
If you had to buy a new plane every time you flew somewhere, it would be incredibly expensive.
Music is changing so quickly, and the landscape of the music industry itself is changing so quickly, that everything new, like Spotify, all feels to me a bit like a grand experiment.
You never know with these things when you're trying something new what can happen. This is all experimental.
New York is not conductive to theater. New York does not encourage its young. It does not encourage experimentation.
I'm always going to be experimenting musically, trying new things.
Tax incentives might spur hiring in the short run, but how lasting are those gains if the jobs expire with the tax credits and they come at the expense of investing in the new technologies of the future?
The history of exploration across nations and across time is not one where nations said, 'Let's explore because it's fun.' It was, 'Let's explore so that we can claim lands for our country, so that we can open up new trade routes; let's explore so we can become more powerful.'

We all become great explorers during our first few days in a new city, or a new love affair.
What the history of aviation has brought in the 20th century should inspire us to be inventors and explorers ourselves in the new century.
New tech explosions create winners and losers, but overall are remarkably positive for the country, middle-class folks, the economy, jobs, and wages.
I was always against starting the show with new material because the fans don't know it. They just look at you, and it's not explosive.
I watched, for the 17th and hopefully the last time, The 'Guns of Navarone' on New Year's Eve. I always watch just in case the explosives don't go off in the end. You have to watch the end, just to make sure it's OK.
The story of mountaintop mining - why it happens, and what its consequences are - is still new to most Americans. They have no idea that their country's physical legacy - the purple mountain majesties that are America - is being destroyed at the rate of several ridgetops a week, by three million pounds of explosives every day.
Growing new limbs, copying internal organs like a Xerox machine, exponential increases in computing power, better eyes and ears - I could read stories like this endlessly.
