More quotes by Wernher von Braun
We should remember that science exists only because there are people, and its concepts exist only in the minds of men. Behind these concepts lies the reality which is being revealed to us, but only by the grace of God.
Wernher von Braun
Man is not made for space. But with the help of biologists and medical doctors, he can be prepared and accommodated.
Wernher von Braun
The greatest gain from space travel consists in the extension of our knowledge. In a hundred years this newly won knowledge will pay huge and unexpected dividends.
Wernher von Braun
If we were to start today on an organized and well-supported space program I believe a practical passenger rocket can be built and tested within ten years.
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
It will free man from the remaining chains, the chains of gravity which still tie him to this planet.
Wernher von Braun

Wernher von Braun

Wernher von Braun

Wernher von Braun
I'm convinced that before the year 2000 is over, the first child will have been born on the moon.
Wernher von Braun
Man belongs wherever he wants to go - and he'll do plenty well when he gets there.
Wernher von Braun
Basic research is what I am doing when I don't know what I am doing.
Wernher von Braun
There are flying grandfathers. But I intend to be an orbiting grandfather.
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
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
The same forces of nature which enable us to fly to the stars, enable us also to destroy our star.
Wernher von Braun
I believe that the time has arrived for medical investigation of the problems of manned rocket flight, for it will not be the engineering problems but rather the limits of the human frame that will make the final decision as to whether manned space flight will eventually become a reality.
Wernher von Braun
Crash programs fail because they are based on theory that, with nine women pregnant, you can get a baby in a month.
Wernher von Braun
I have learned to use the word 'impossible' with the greatest caution.
