More quotes by Wernher von Braun
I have learned to use the word 'impossible' with the greatest caution.
Wernher von Braun
It takes sixty-five thousand errors before you are qualified to make a rocket.
Wernher von Braun
By the year 2000 we will undoubtedly have a sizable operation on the Moon, we will have achieved a manned Mars landing and it's entirely possible we will have flown with men to the outer planets.
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
We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming.
Wernher von Braun
Man belongs wherever he wants to go - and he'll do plenty well when he gets there.
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
The rocket worked perfectly, except for landing on the wrong planet.
Wernher von Braun
For my confirmation, I didn't get a watch and my first pair of long pants, like most Lutheran boys. I got a telescope. My mother thought it would make the best gift.
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
Nature does not know extinction all it knows is transformation. ... Everything science has taught me-and continues to teach me-strengthens my belief in the continuity of our spiritual existence after death. Nothing disappears without a trace.
Wernher von Braun
A good engineer gets stale very fast if he doesn't keep his hands dirty.
Wernher von Braun
In order for us to use the very best judgment possible in spending the taxpayer's money intelligently, we just have to do a certain amount of this research and development work ourselves. We just have to keep our own hands dirty to command the professional respect of the contractor personnel engaged with actual design, shop and testing work.
Wernher von Braun
What we will have attained when Neil Armstrong steps down upon the moon is a completely new step in the evolution of man.
Wernher von Braun
Science and religion are not antagonists. On the contrary, they are sisters. While science tries to learn more about the creation, religion tries to better understand the Creator. While through science man tries to harness the forces of nature around him, through religion he tries to harness the force of nature within him.
Wernher von Braun
Basic research is what I am doing when I don't know what I am doing.
Wernher von Braun
I believe in an immortal soul. Science has proved that nothing disintegrates into nothingness. Life and soul, therefore, cannot disintegrate into nothingness, and so are immortal.
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
Don't tell me that man doesn't belong out there. Man belongs wherever he wants to go - and he'll do plenty well when he gets there.
Wernher von Braun
Get me a broom. I'll sweep my own office.
Wernher von Braun
