Deutsche Übersetzung

Die Mythen, die mit individuellen Heiligtümern und Zeremonien verbunden waren, waren lediglich ein Teil des Apparats der Anbetung. Sie dienten dazu, die Phantasie zu erregen und das Interesse des Verehrers aufrechtzuerhalten. Niemand interessierte sich dafür, was er über seinen Ursprung glaubte.

I claim that space is part of our culture. You've heard complaints that nobody knows the names of the astronauts, that nobody gets excited about launches, that nobody cares anymore except people in the industry. I don't believe that for a minute.
