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.

More quotes by 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
To simply dismiss the concept of God as being unscientific is to violate the very objectivity of science itself.
Wernher von Braun
We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming.
Wernher von Braun
It was very successful, but it fell on the wrong planet.
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
In order for us to use the very best judgment possible in spending the taxpayer's money intelligently, we just have to do a certain amount of this research and development work ourselves. We just have to keep our own hands dirty to command the professional respect of the contractor personnel engaged with actual design, shop and testing work.
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
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
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
My friends they were dancing here in the streets of Huntsville when our first satellite orbited the Earth. They were dancing again when the first Americans landed on the Moon. I'd like to ask you, don't hang up your dancing slippers.
Wernher von Braun
Man is not made for space. But with the help of biologists and medical doctors, he can be prepared and accommodated.
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
There is just one thing I can promise you about the outer-space program - your tax-dollar will go further.
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
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
Basic research is what I am doing when I don't know what I am doing.
Wernher von Braun
If we continue at this leisurly pace, we will have to pass Russian customs when we land on the moon.
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 best computer is a man, and it’s the only one that can be mass-produced by unskilled labor.
