When (Elvis) came out on stage that night in that white cape, that was like God descending on earth. I'm an Elvis freak.

I felt the earth shake and a strong gust of wind, then I felt mud at my feet. All the children, including my two children, are lost. They might have been buried.

We're in excellent shape. We've done almost everything we have to do in the entire mission.. Only thing left is to come into the Earth.

We're approaching the end of a fantastic voyage. This is the farthest anything from Earth has traveled and come back. Soon we'll be able to examine the building blocks that formed the solar system 4.6 billion years ago.

Virtually all of the atoms in our bodies and in the Earth were in interstellar grains - stardust grains - before the solar system formed. We're using this comet as a library that picked up records of the formation of our solar system, and has been storing them far from the sun at very low temperatures for four and a half billion years.

It spreads around the Earth as a rock vapor cloud that eventually condenses and forms droplets that solidify into spherules, which rain back down onto the surface.

Now that I am living in God's gift to earth, the isothermal range of the Blue Ridge Mountains that runs down the border line of Western North and South Carolina, my mind is geared up for production.

Pluto has always been a problem because it's less massive than the moon..[and] it's only about one 500th as massive as the Earth. So is it just a rock or is it a real planet?

For those who have seen the Earth from space, and for the hundreds and perhaps thousands more who will, the experience most certainly changes your perspective. The things that we share in our world are far more valuable than those which divide us.

The rocky and rough surface of the asteroid was surprising. The 16-minute light travel time [between Earth and the spacecraft] makes real-time communications very difficult.

The beauty of comets is that they are important to us. We probably would not be here were it not for comets. Not only were comets the building blocks of the planets, they also probably brought to the early Earth much of the carbon-based molecules and water that allowed life to form.

It's like a giant arm just swept across the earth, like sweeping things off a tabletop.

It's been a long, hard road, so I've definitely learned to appreciate what this weekend means. I know so many people who had the same dreams and worked hard but never got to this point. This is the culmination of what I believe God has put me on this earth to do, and now I hope to share my gifts with others.

Each year we have 30 to 40,000 tons of primitive material from comets and asteroids that lands on Earth, and this is about one particle per square meter per day. So during the course of our seven-year mission, there was more comet dust collected in your backyard than what we're bringing home.

In recent decades, spacecraft have passed fairly close to comets and provided us with excellent data. Stardust, however, marks the first time that we have ever collected samples from a comet and brought them back to Earth for study.

It really opens a completely new window on the universe. It tells us that we're going to be seeing gravitational waves in the near future, in addition to knowing how stars die and how the material that we are made of and the earth is made of came to be and how life came to be possible.

Venus is quite close to Earth, yet so radically different. Why is that?

If our scientists are able to contribute to the explanation of the mysteries of planetary evolution, and the reasons for the great differences between Venus and Earth, I will feel my hopes were fulfilled.

Venus is extremely inhospitable for life, whereas Earth is a great place to live. If these planets were created about the same time, why would Earth take on such a different character?

Their faces radiated a serenity I had never seen on Earth. All were full of life and expressed radiant joy. Heaven was many things, but without a doubt, it was the greatest family reunion of all.

You've got the same problem as a car on Earth on a sheet of ice. There is very little friction between the wheels and the surface.

It takes 7 1/2 minutes for a signal to get from Earth to the spacecraft and another 7 1/2 minutes to get back. So, we can't joystick this spacecraft like a video game.

The views of the Earth are really beautiful. If you've ever seen a space IMAX movie, that's really what it looks like. I wish I'd had more time just to sit and look out the window with a map, but our science program kept us very busy in the lab most of the time.
