More quotes by Wernher von Braun
I have learned to use the word 'impossible' with the greatest caution.
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
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
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
It will free man from the remaining chains, the chains of gravity which still tie him to this planet.
Wernher von Braun
A good engineer gets stale very fast if he doesn't keep his hands dirty.
Wernher von Braun
It takes sixty-five thousand errors before you are qualified to make a rocket.
Wernher von Braun
Conquering the universe one has to solve two problems: gravity and red tape. We could have mastered gravity.
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
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
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
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.
Wernher von Braun
One good test is worth a thousand expert opinions.
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 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
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
To simply dismiss the concept of God as being unscientific is to violate the very objectivity of science itself.
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
Get me a broom. I'll sweep my own office.
Wernher von Braun
Man belongs wherever he wants to go - and he'll do plenty well when he gets there.
Wernher von Braun
