A Tribute to Steve Jobs From Beyond Earth
NASA astronaut Mike Fossum and two crewmates who are living on the Space Station stop to pay tribute to Steve Jobs:
“In every generation there are great thinkers and people that have the vision of what can be and then have the energy, the skill and the genius to make it happen. Steve Jobs is definitely one of those rare individuals and the world’s gonna miss him a lot.”
Steve Jobs was a visionary, a marketer and a perfectionist, but he was also a quote machine. One of his better lines was this exhortation to Apple employees: “Make a dent in the universe.”
“Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.”
Rest in peace, good sir. And thank you for everything you’ve given us.
