With our present knowledge, we can respond to the challenge of stellar space flight solely with intellectual concepts and purely hypothetical analysis. Hardware solutions are still entirely beyond our reach and far, far away.

WERNHER VON BRAUNMy 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 BRAUNI 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 BRAUNIt 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 BRAUNMan belongs wherever he wants to go – and he’ll do plenty well when he gets there.
WERNHER VON BRAUNThere is just one thing I can promise you about the outer-space program – your tax-dollar will go further.
WERNHER VON BRAUNLooking back, nothing seems so simple than a utopian vision realised.
WERNHER VON BRAUNIt takes sixty-five thousand errors before you are qualified to make a rocket.
WERNHER VON BRAUNNature 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 BRAUNOur 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 BRAUNWe 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 BRAUNTo simply dismiss the concept of God as being unscientific is to violate the very objectivity of science itself.
WERNHER VON BRAUNThe best computer is a man, and it’s the only one that can be mass-produced by unskilled labor.
WERNHER VON BRAUNBasic research is what I am doing when I don’t know what I am doing.
WERNHER VON BRAUNIf we continue at this leisurly pace, we will have to pass Russian customs when we land on the moon.
WERNHER VON BRAUNWe can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming.
