i found it after rifling through the quotes wanted thread.
"Space will be colonised - although possibly not by us [Americans]. If we lose our nerve, there are plenty of other people on this planet. The construction crews may speak Chinese or Russian - Swahili or Portuguese. It does not take "good old American know-how" to build a city in space. The Laws of Physics work just as well for others as they do for us."

You misunderstood what he was saying. All he was really trying to do was get us to build that space city sooner so that he could see it before his death under the threat that somone (snicker) else could build it.
