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.

More quotes by Wernher von Braun
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.
Wernher von Braun
The rocket worked perfectly, except for landing on the wrong planet.
Wernher von Braun
For me, the idea of a creation is not conceivable without invoking the necessity of design. One cannot be exposed to the law and order of the universe without concluding that there must be design and purpose behind it all.
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
If we continue at this leisurly pace, we will have to pass Russian customs when we land on the moon.
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
The same forces of nature which enable us to fly to the stars, enable us also to destroy our star.
Wernher von Braun
Looking back, nothing seems so simple than a utopian vision realised.
Wernher von Braun
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
Wernher von Braun
Conquering the universe one has to solve two problems: gravity and red tape. We could have mastered gravity.
Wernher von Braun
I have learned to use the word 'impossible' with the greatest caution.
Wernher von Braun
With our present knowledge, we can respond to the challenge of stellar space flight solely with intellectual concepts and purely hypothetical analysis. Hardware solutions are still entirely beyond our reach and far, far away.
Wernher von Braun
We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming.
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
I find it as difficult to understand a scientist who does not acknowledge the presence of a superior rationality behind the existence of the universe as it is to comprehend a theologian who would deny the advances of science.
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
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
It is in scientific honesty that I endorse the presentation of alternative theories for the origin of the universe, life and man in the science classroom. It would be an error to overlook the possibility that the universe was planned rather than happening by chance.
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.
