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.
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
I have learned to use the word 'impossible' with the greatest caution.
Wernher von Braun
The best computer is a man, and it’s the only one that can be mass-produced by unskilled labor.
Wernher von Braun
It takes sixty-five thousand errors before you are qualified to make a rocket.
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
