[1] "A centralized department dedicated to the exploration of our final frontier is a necessity to bring us into the next half of the century. This will lead us to victory in this space race. In one year, Apollo Nine will make a dedicated attempt to land on the moon, and we need a system to expand our horizons. In this decade, we must land on the Moon, and in this century, we must move forward exponentially to eventually land on other planets."
- President John F. Kennedy, on the Department of SERA, 1965
[2] "I promise to help further the space program in any way I can."
- Secretary Robert C. Seamans, speaking on the space program, 1967
[3] "We will lead our nation to the next step in American history, the step forward into the great black beyond, the space age. Tomorrow our children will marvel at how far we have advanced since that day. The Skylab will soon orbit the Earth."
- President Kennedy, in his farewell speech, 1971
[4] "Today, we go forward. We go forward to a place we will have never seen to this degree. Today, we study the effects of gravity upon the human body. Today, fifteen years since we first stepped upon the moon, we now live upon it. The Lunar Universal Native Atmosphere Base has been finished, and now we walk upon the moon once more."
- President George Romney, on the LUNA Base's opening, 1982
[5] "John Glenn is an, uh, exemplary choice for the Department of SERA. His experience in space and in government will lead this department into new heights."
- President Michael Dukakis, on the nomination of Senator John Glenn, 1985
[6] "Within the decade, we will walk on Mars."
- President Jack Kemp, at a rally for space exploration, 1989
[7] "Doctor Sagan will lead us to a new decade in space exploration. We will have a mission to Mars. We will build a solar array in space. We will move forward in our great universe."
- President Jerry Brown, in the nomination process for Carl Sagan, 1994
[8] "Forward."
- Astronaut Kevin Kregel, walking on Mars, 1997
[9] "Now that we have landed on Mars, we cannot rest on our laurels. Soon, we will land on other celestial objects, Deimos, Phobos, and soon even the asteroid belt and Venus."
- Secretary Daniel R. Mulville, on whether or not the Department of SERA should be made defunct, 2002
[10] "I select Mr. Bolden to lead us to a new century of the Department of SERA."
- President Howard Dean, on his nomination for the Department of SERA, 2005
[11] "Gregory has hands-on experience with space exploration, and following the unfortunate circumstances of Mister Bolden's resignation, Fred Gregory will serve admirably. The new budget will adequately keep the space program we now have in good repair."
- President Dean, on his new nomination for the Department of SERA, 2011
[12] "The Venus program will progress to a point we will barely comprehend. A floating station can be accomplished with the technology we currently have, we simply need the funding."
- Secretary Griffin, on the exploration of Venus, 2014
[13] "The Skylab B requires major repairs, and we require more funding to get that accomplished. A major budget overhaul is necessary."
- Secretary Strain, asking for more funding, 2016
[14] "We will fund Skylab B, we will fund the Venus program, and the Sagan Array will be put to its intended size. SERA is grossly underfunded, and we need to continue the great programs which put a person in orbit, a person on the moon, and a person on Mars."
- President Biden, pushing for more space funding, 2017
- President John F. Kennedy, on the Department of SERA, 1965
