Quote

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.

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.

Basic research is what I am doing when I don't know what I am doing.

Image
Looking back, nothing seems so simple than a utopian vision realised.

Image
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.

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

The same forces of nature which enable us to fly to the stars, enable us also to destroy our star.

To simply dismiss the concept of God as being unscientific is to violate the very objectivity of science itself.

In 1492 Columbus knew less about the far Atlantic than we do about the heavens, yet he chose not to sail with a flotilla of less than three ships. . . . So it is with interplanetary exploration: it must be done on the grand scale.

We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming.
Wernher von Braun
Image
Man belongs wherever he wants to go - and he'll do plenty well when he gets there.
Wernher von Braun

Man is not made for space. But with the help of biologists and medical doctors, he can be prepared and accommodated.

It takes sixty-five thousand errors before you are qualified to make a rocket.

There is just one thing I can promise you about the outer-space program - your tax-dollar will go further.

The rocket worked perfectly, except for landing on the wrong planet.

Get me a broom. I'll sweep my own office.
Wernher von Braun
Image
Conquering the universe one has to solve two problems: gravity and red tape. We could have mastered gravity.

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
Image
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.

Science does not have a moral dimension. It is like a knife. If you give it to a surgeon or a murderer, each will use it differently.

Image
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.
