- "I look at it like this. Before I came on stage, the universe had been around for twelve billion years. All that time, I was in a state of non existence and it wasn't bad. Pretty comfortable as a matter of fact. So, I figure it'll be just as comfortable for the next twelve billion years."
- ―Doctor Kurt Mendel

Quotes[]
- Chuck Taggart: Now, I am going to depressurize this cabin. You can get into an enclosure if you want, or you can sit here and twiddle your thumbs while you decompress, but if that's your choice, do me a favor and get your ass in a sleeping bag and zip the fucker up, because I do not wish to spend my last living hours cleaning up the mess!
....
- Kurt Mendel: Closer... closer... Do it, do it baby.
- Sarah Forbes: Why does everything that comes out of your mouth have something to do with sex?!
- Kurt Mendel: Maybe because we're riding in a three billion dollar phallic symbol. Don't quote me.
- Sarah Forbes: If I started quoting you, they'd shut down the space program.
....
- Sarah Forbes: I should've expected it
- Neil Taggart: What?
- Sarah Forbes: God is an old white guy.
....
- Sarah Forbes: Doctor Mendel would you care to explain the specifics of the work you'll be doing?
- Kurt Mendel: Well, Sarah, the thrust of my work will be to erect a series of hard protocols designed to penetrate the ins and outs of zero g environment on DNA sequencing. Hopefully it would all come together.
