More quotes by Wernher von Braun
I have learned to use the word 'impossible' with the greatest caution.
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
Don't tell me that man doesn't belong out there. Man belongs wherever he wants to go - and he'll do plenty well when he gets there.
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
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
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
There are flying grandfathers. But I intend to be an orbiting grandfather.
Wernher von Braun
Looking back, nothing seems so simple than a utopian vision realised.
Wernher von Braun
It takes sixty-five thousand errors before you are qualified to make a rocket.
Wernher von Braun
What we will have attained when Neil Armstrong steps down upon the moon is a completely new step in the evolution of man.
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
Man belongs wherever he wants to go - and he'll do plenty well when he gets there.
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
Get me a broom. I'll sweep my own office.
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
One good test is worth a thousand expert opinions.
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 rocket worked perfectly, except for landing on the wrong planet.
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.
