More quotes by Wernher von Braun
There are flying grandfathers. But I intend to be an orbiting grandfather.
Wernher von Braun
There is just one thing I can promise you about the outer-space program - your tax-dollar will go further.
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
The best computer is a man, and it’s the only one that can be mass-produced by unskilled labor.
Wernher von Braun
For my confirmation, I didn't get a watch and my first pair of long pants, like most Lutheran boys. I got a telescope. My mother thought it would make the best gift.
Wernher von Braun
A good engineer gets stale very fast if he doesn't keep his hands dirty.
Wernher von Braun
One good test is worth a thousand expert opinions.
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
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
I'm convinced that before the year 2000 is over, the first child will have been born on the moon.
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 have learned to use the word 'impossible' with the greatest caution.
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
Science and religion are not antagonists. On the contrary, they are sisters. While science tries to learn more about the creation, religion tries to better understand the Creator. While through science man tries to harness the forces of nature around him, through religion he tries to harness the force of nature within him.
Wernher von Braun
Get me a broom. I'll sweep my own office.
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
Conquering the universe one has to solve two problems: gravity and red tape. We could have mastered gravity.
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
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.
