A similarly great West Wing clip about exploration re: Mars mission.

"The history of man is hung on the timeline of exploration and this is what's next."

Heh, watched that when looking for the scene I pasted, as I couldn't remember which of those "what's the point of this science" episodes was the one with the quote I wanted - what an amazing show. Need to rewatch again soon.
