More quotes by Wernher von Braun
The logistic requirements for a large, elaborate mission to Mars are no greater that those for a minor military operation extending over a limited theatre of war.
Wernher von Braun
One good test is worth a thousand expert opinions.
Wernher von Braun
Basic research is what I am doing when I don't know what I am doing.
Wernher von Braun
If we continue at this leisurly pace, we will have to pass Russian customs when we land on the moon.
Wernher von Braun
I only hope that we shall not wait to adopt the program until after our astronomers have reported a new and unsuspected asteroid moving across their fields of vision with menacing speed. At that point it will be too late!
Wernher von Braun
The same forces of nature which enable us to fly to the stars, enable us also to destroy our star.
Wernher von Braun
There is just one thing I can promise you about the outer-space program - your tax-dollar will go further.
Wernher von Braun
My experiences with science led me to God. They challenge science to prove the existence of God. But must we really light a candle to see the sun?

It takes sixty-five thousand errors before you are qualified to make a rocket.
Wernher von Braun
There is beauty in space, and it is orderly. There is no weather, and there is regularity. It is predictable. Just look at our little Explorer you can set your clock by it-literally it is more accurate than your clock. Everything in space obeys the laws of physics. If you know these laws, and obey them, space will treat you kindly.
Wernher von Braun
I find it as difficult to understand a scientist who does not acknowledge the presence of a superior rationality behind the existence of the universe as it is to comprehend a theologian who would deny the advances of science.
Wernher von Braun
Get me a broom. I'll sweep my own office.
Wernher von Braun
We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming.
Wernher von Braun
To simply dismiss the concept of God as being unscientific is to violate the very objectivity of science itself.
Wernher von Braun
All one can really leave one's children is what's inside their heads. Education, in other words, and not earthly possessions, is the ultimate legacy, the only thing that cannot be taken away.
Wernher von Braun
For me, the idea of a creation is not conceivable without invoking the necessity of design. One cannot be exposed to the law and order of the universe without concluding that there must be design and purpose behind it all.
Wernher von Braun
It is in scientific honesty that I endorse the presentation of alternative theories for the origin of the universe, life and man in the science classroom. It would be an error to overlook the possibility that the universe was planned rather than happening by chance.
Wernher von Braun
Everybody knows what the moon is, everybody knows what this decade is, and everybody can tell a live astronaut who returned from the moon from one who didn't
Wernher von Braun
My friends they were dancing here in the streets of Huntsville when our first satellite orbited the Earth. They were dancing again when the first Americans landed on the Moon. I'd like to ask you, don't hang up your dancing slippers.
