“I am part of the Star Wars Generation. Instead of being inspired by science and facts, we were inspired by stories, movies, music. What Star Wars had done was plant the idea in my head about distant Alien worlds. I didn’t look at it scientifically, I just assumed they were there, and that science would catch up to find them.” - Johnny Tomorrow
