But I don't think we'll go there until we go back to the moon and develop a technology base for living and working and transporting ourselves through space.

Standing beneath the white light of an Apple store is like standing on a Stanley Kubrick movie set. His '2001: A Space Odyssey' predicted Jobs and a future where technology was our friend. Kubrick of course didn't like what he saw. And occasionally I have my doubts.

It's very difficult in the technology space when you have been leapfrogged to prosper again.

The U.S. is looking to India as more then just a marketplace for our defense products but as a technology aerospace and strategic partner for our future endeavors.

Looking down the road space exploration and the benefits it yields - in medicine and information technology - should not be overlooked.

In my mind I needed a symbol of today's technology and I realized that what I wanted to photograph was the Space Shuttle. And so that's where Places of Power came into being.

I suppose that every time there is difficulty. I remember about Space Mountain: It took us ten years before we found the technology that would allow such a ride. And during these ten years I had a model that I kept waiting for the technology we needed.

I am fascinated by all the new technology that creates places for us to meet in what is called cyberspace. I understand what it must have meant for the rebellions in the 19th century especially in 1830 and 1848 when the mass circulated newspaper became so important for the spreading of information.

Roman civilization had achieved within the bounds of its technology relatively as great a mastery of time and space as we have achieved today.

We humans are an extremely important manifestation of the replication bomb because it is through us - through our brains our symbolic culture and our technology - that the explosion may proceed to the next stage and reverberate through deep space.
