It will free man from the remaining chains, the chains of gravity which still tie him to this planet.
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
Get me a broom. I'll sweep my own office.
