Wernher von Braun
I'm convinced that before the year 2000 is over, the first child will have been born on the moon.

Conquering the universe one has to solve two problems: gravity and red tape. We could have mastered gravity.
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
It will free man from the remaining chains, the chains of gravity which still tie him to this planet.

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
Looking back, nothing seems so simple than a utopian vision realised.
Wernher von Braun
I have learned to use the word 'impossible' with the greatest caution.
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
The rocket worked perfectly, except for landing on the wrong planet.
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
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
If we continue at this leisurly pace, we will have to pass Russian customs when we land on the moon.
Wernher von Braun
There are flying grandfathers. But I intend to be an orbiting grandfather.
