Prediction is a very difficult business, particularly about the future
Fred Singer
Image
It is the ability to make predictions about the future that is the crux of intelligence.
Jeff Hawkins
Image
The younger generation of rocket engineers is just beginning. They are of the new generation to which space travel is not going to be a dream of the future but an everyday job with everyday worries in which they will be engaged.
Willy Ley
Image
With the possible exception of having more pleasing lines to the eye while in flight, the monoplane possesses no material advantage over the biplane.
Glenn Curtiss
Image
The exploration of the planets is now closer to us in time than the exploration of Africa by Stanley and Livingstone.
Arthur C. Clarke
Image
Ships and sails proper for the heavenly air should be fashioned. Then there will also be people, who do not shrink from the dreary vastness of space.
Johannes Kepler
Image
The only relevant test of the validity of a hypothesis is comparison of prediction with experience.
Milton Friedman
Image
I don't like being called a denier because deniers don't believe in facts. There are no facts linking the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide with imminent catastrophic global warming there are only predictions based on complex computer models.
David Bellamy

I first came into the labor force in 1941 when the minimum wage was 40 cents an hour, and that was my first job. And each time that we've tried to boost the lower level of salary for the most underpaid workers, there have been predictions of catastrophe. But each time, in [m]y opinion, the change has helped our Nation and its economic strength.
Jimmy Carter

the truth and value of a theory does not depend on the number of people who are interested in it - otherwise you might compare the number of people who follow the predictions of astrologers in the daily press with those who attend lectures by Einstein, and conclude that astrology was more valuable and true than physics.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Image
When we hear a prediction of some disaster we need to throw the entire weight of our positive thought in the opposite direction!
Peace Pilgrim
Image
What can there be concerning outer space but ignorance?
Nigel Kneale
Image
We're the tortoise that has outrun the hare because it chose the easy predictions.
Charlie Munger
Image
At first we will only skim the surface of the earth like young starlings, but soon, emboldened by practice and experience, we will spring into the air with the impetuousness of the eagle, diverting ourselves by watching the childish behavior of the little men or awling miserably around on the earth below us.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Image
Business success is less a function of grandiose predictions than it is a result of being able to respond rapidly to real changes as they occur.
Jack Welch
Image
Predictions that unit cohesion could not survive honesty about sexual orientation were simply wrong. What does threaten morale arethe prolonged investigations, the questioning of friends and co-workers, the searches of barracks for magazines and letters, the witch hunts.
Anna Quindlen
Image
Having established that good ideas do indeed come in from the cold, start on the fringes and become mainstream, can we make any predictions about what the next move will be?
Nigel Farage
Image
If you learn one thing from having lived through decades of changing views, it is that all predictions are necessarily false.
M. H. Abrams
Image
Life, forever dying to be born afresh, forever young and eager, will presently stand upon this Earth as upon a footstool, and stretch out its realm amidst the stars.
H. G. Wells
Image
To consider the Earth as the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field of millet, only one grain will grow.
Metrodorus of Chios
Image
There is an excellent way to make predictions without the slightest risk of error: predict the past.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
Image
I want to make rockets 100 times, if not 1,000 times better. The ultimate objective is to make humanity a multiplanet species. Thirty years from now, there'll be a base on the moon and on Mars, and people will be going back and forth on SpaceX rockets.
Elon Musk
Image
Predictions are preposterous. What usually happens is that people tell you that what they'd like to see happen instead of what they really think will happen. There are so many variations and possibilities that there's no way to ever really know for certain.
Jackie Mason
Image
Science is progressing at such a rapid rate that when you make a prediction and think you are ahead of your time by 100 years you may be ahead of your time by 10 at most.
