ad astra per aspera
to the stars through difficulties


i.e., "a rough road leads to the stars", as on the Launch Complex 34 memorial plaque for the astronauts of Apollo 1. Used as a motto by the State of Kansas and other organisations.

In Star Trek it was the motto of Starfleet before the federation. See also Strange New Worlds episode of the same name.
