The same forces of nature which enable us to fly to the stars, enable us also to destroy our star.

The same forces of nature which enable us to fly to the stars, enable us also to destroy our star.

I believe in an immortal soul. Science has proved that nothing disintegrates into nothingness. Life and soul, therefore, cannot disintegrate into nothingness, and so are immortal.

Don’t tell me that man doesn’t belong out there. Man belongs wherever he wants to go – and he’ll do plenty well when he gets there.

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!

We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming.

If 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.

Man is not made for space. But with the help of biologists and medical doctors, he can be prepared and accommodated.

I find it as difficult to understand a scientist who does not acknowledge the presence of a superior rationality behind the existence of the universe as it is to comprehend a theologian who would deny the advances of science.

I believe that the time has arrived for medical investigation of the problems of manned rocket flight, for it will not be the engineering problems but rather the limits of the human frame that will make the final decision as to whether manned space flight will eventually become a reality.

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.

Conquering the universe one has to solve two problems: gravity and red tape. We could have mastered gravity.

Our 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.

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?

Basic research is what I am doing when I don’t know what I am doing.

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 BRAUN

Beyond Challenge Knowledge Present Reach Solution
It takes sixty-five thousand errors before you are qualified to make a rocket.
