More quotes by 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
The same forces of nature which enable us to fly to the stars, enable us also to destroy our star.
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
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
Looking back, nothing seems so simple than a utopian vision realised.
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
It was very successful, but it fell on the wrong planet.
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?
Wernher von Braun
Get me a broom. I'll sweep my own office.
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
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
I have learned to use the word 'impossible' with the greatest caution.
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
It takes sixty-five thousand errors before you are qualified to make a rocket.
Wernher von Braun
The best computer is a man, and it’s the only one that can be mass-produced by unskilled labor.
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
Our sun is one of a 100 billion stars in our galaxy. Our galaxy is one of billions of galaxies populating the universe. It would be the height of presumption to think that we are the only living thing in that enormous immensity.
Wernher von Braun
Basic research is what I am doing when I don't know what I am doing.
Wernher von Braun
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.
Wernher von Braun
