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 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 BRAUNBasic research is what I am doing when I don’t know what I am doing.
WERNHER VON BRAUNMy 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 BRAUNIf 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.
WERNHER VON BRAUNCrash programs fail because they are based on theory that, with nine women pregnant, you can get a baby in a month.
WERNHER VON BRAUNMan is not made for space. But with the help of biologists and medical doctors, he can be prepared and accommodated.
WERNHER VON BRAUNA good engineer gets stale very fast if he doesn’t keep his hands dirty.
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.
