More quotes by 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
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
The rocket worked perfectly, except for landing on the wrong planet.
Wernher von Braun
One good test is worth a thousand expert opinions.
Wernher von Braun
My experiences with science led me to God. They challenge science to prove the existence of God. But must we really light a candle to see the sun?
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
I have learned to use the word 'impossible' with the greatest caution.
Wernher von Braun
Man belongs wherever he wants to go - and he'll do plenty well when he gets there.
Wernher von Braun
Looking back, nothing seems so simple than a utopian vision realised.
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
By the year 2000 we will undoubtedly have a sizable operation on the Moon, we will have achieved a manned Mars landing and it's entirely possible we will have flown with men to the outer planets.
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
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
It will free man from the remaining chains, the chains of gravity which still tie him to this planet.
Wernher von Braun
There are flying grandfathers. But I intend to be an orbiting grandfather.
Wernher von Braun
We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming.
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
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
There is just one thing I can promise you about the outer-space program - your tax-dollar will go further.
Wernher von Braun
