Apollo Quotations

At first, Hendrix went and became a superstar in London, but if he walked past the Apollo in Harlem, no one would know who he was. I'm the hip-hop version of him.

Apollo 11 was the movie premiere of moon landings, with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Neil was a bit of a mystic, but also a taciturn guy from what I can tell. He really saw the moon as looking like the American high desert. He wasn't someone who dealt in metaphors.

There was a lot of risk taken in the Mercury and Apollo eras, and we don't take those risks anymore. We've designed the systems to eliminate risk, which makes it take forever and cost too much money.

The day Apollo 11 landed, I knew men would walk on Mars in my lifetime. I'm no longer nearly so sure. The last budget put forward in Canada contained not a penny for Mars.

In Congress, I am a strong supporter of the New Apollo Energy Act. This plan would help to establish our energy independence, create jobs, and provide cleaner, reliable, and more affordable energy.

At this point in my career, Apollo 13 is a million light years away.

Our mission on Apollo 14 was to be the first to do science on the moon, so we had to be careful about getting everything in during the allotted time.

I remember the moon landings, and Apollo was the paradigm by which all progress was measured at that time. And I knew that creating a true space-faring civilization was both possible and practical. What I failed to realize was that the effort would fail due to bureaucratic inertia and political apathy.

Some of the wives didn't keep up with the program. It started breaking apart during the Apollo days.

A typical smart phone has more computing power than Apollo 11 when it landed a man on the moon.

Apollo Records signed me for my gospel ability.

He who commands an Apollo flight will not command a second one

My favorite Twombly is 'Apollo and the Artist,' with the big 'Apollo' written across it.

It's true that Apollo 10's lander was overweight. Late in the craft's development, it became clear that its ballooning weight was endangering the whole mission.

If the United States commits to the goal of reaching Mars, it will almost certainly do so in reaction to the progress of other nations - as was the case with NASA, the Apollo program, and the project that became the International Space Station.

I grew up watching a lot of the coverage of the early U.S. space program, all the way back starting with Mercury and then through Gemini and Apollo and of course going to the moon as the main part of the Apollo program.

My friend needed to do a project where he brought together a variety of musical styles. At that time we had a few horn players in our group and it was sort of a jazz project. When we heard about opportunity, I gave Mo and Apollo a call and what we came up with sounded awesome.

If we find a better fit, they have said they will bow out gracefully, ... Apollo says they are willing to stay, but that town will have to ?drive the bus.? And we can only keep Apollo if we?re willing to pay for the permitting.

Leonard's broad operational experience in the U.S. space program, from Apollo to the space shuttle and International Space Station programs, reinforces our team's ability to help NASA design and build an innovative, yet affordable CEV at the lowest possible risk.

So many people I talk to who work in technology, you ask them, 'What got you interested in science?' and those from my generation say, 'The Apollo landings.'

The first time I heard Clyde McPhatter singing with the Dominoes at the Apollo I just fell off my chair

Given that the movie had to condense four days into two hours, and given that the communications were sometimes rather tedious and technical, it was pretty accurate, ... Apollo 13.

Growing up in the '60s and early '70s, with the space flight and the Apollo program, I always loved planes. I always loved rockets and I always loved space travel.

Imagine having a wide selection of images from the Apollo space mission at your fingertips whenever you want it.

He got a chance to go on American Bandstand and travel up to New York to the Apollo and so forth. He still didn't make a whole lot of money, but at least his name was spreading.

Sure, there were hopes that Constellation's systems could later be adapted to support more ambitious goals. But Apollo had those hopes, too. It didn't work in 1970, and it wasn't going to work in 2020.

Our hitting was good. We put the ball in play and hit the ball hard. It had been awhile since we swept a team. We are hoping to finish strong in the Apollo and pick ourselves up a little bit.

It has several elements to it. One is to say that the people who did Apollo were pretty smart,

I think I was very interested in the space program as a kid, watching the first Apollo missions to the moon, and it's something I thought that would be a lot of, of fun and exciting and a very worthwhile job.

I was born too late to experience Apollo 11, though I do trek to Dad's house every time there's some space event. There's something awesome about crossing your fingers and watching a tense Mission Control room do their thing.

The Apollo program was very goal-driven. Get people to the moon. Get them back safely. Mission done. The big difference with the (new) exploration vision is that the moon is not the goal. The moon is a steppingstone.

The achievements of Apollo were so bold and our subsequent efforts so timid that the energy of those years seems like a youthful dream,

The fact that it comes at a particularly inopportune moment is unfortunate, but either we are serious about long-term commitments like this or not. Nobody is asking for more money. Apollo was done as a warlike mobilization of national resources and there's no reason to do that now.

There are more computer circuits on the radio of a new car than there were computer circuits on Apollo missions. These days everything is interconnected with computers. So unless you understand physics, you're not going to be able to fix a car.

Dust in an urn long since, dispersed and dead Is great Apollo; and the happier he

To the crew of Columbia, as well as the crews of Challenger, Apollo 1 and Soyuz 1 and 11, and to those who have courageously given so much, we now offer our enduring thanks,

I guess those of us who have been with NASA ... kind of understand the tremendous excitement and thrills and celebrations and national pride that went with the Apollo program is just something you're not going to create again, probably until we go to Mars.

The Muses were dumb while Apollo lectured.

I used to be a street performer, and performances on Venice Beach, it's like playing the Apollo: They let you know if they don't like you!

My solution to the problem of unleashing creativity is always to set up a target. The best example of this was the Apollo project in the United States.

[Apollo 7 was] an expedition of the mind, not of the heart.

I've been dancing all my life. I even won a contest at the Apollo Theatre in 1968.

The third goal of the new Apollo Project is to grow jobs right here in the United States rather than allowing job loss to go overseas.

We will image the Apollo sites and you will see the descent stages sitting on the surface.

This spacecraft and systems will build upon the foundation of the proven designs and technologies used in the Apollo and space shuttle programs, while having far greater capability.

The original specifications for Apollo navigation called for the ability to fly a complete mission, including a lunar landing, with no help from Earth - none, not even voice communications.

After the Apollo 1 crew was lost, we said that we wore a black armband for a few weeks, and we wear it in our hearts forever.

Speaking of photography, while the Apollo 8 crew shot hundreds of photos, there was one that got everybody's attention: a blue-and-white Earth rising over a gray moonscape.

Sometimes a malfunctioning test setup actually gives the tested system a chance to show what it can do in an unrehearsed emergency. During a test of an Apollo escape system in the 1960s, the escape system successfully got the capsule clear of a malfunctioning test rocket.

Think of it as Apollo on steroids. But understand, we did not set out to make it look like Apollo.

Think of it as Apollo on steroids, ... Unless the U.S. wants to get out of manned spaceflight completely, this is the vehicle we need to be building.

After the third mission, Apollo became not a gateway to exploration, but a singular moment, ... From Earth to the Moon.

It's probably going to be a lot like an advanced Apollo capsule.

It will be expensive, it will take a lot of energy and a complex spacecraft. But I suspect that even though the various questions are difficult and many, they are not as difficult and many as those we faced when we started the Apollo (space program) in 1961.

In the Apollo program, you're figuring out trajectories to get people to the moon, ... And in the world of investments, the field is in its infancy in terms of the science of investing.

I remember in 1967, when there was that terrible fire on NASA's Apollo 1 rocket that killed three astronauts, my father made pure oxygen and we lit this tiny cup and burned it. Suddenly, we had an unbelievable jet and a fire. You just could see exactly what had happened.

By and large, the Apollo folks got it right,

Gemini was a tough go, ... It was smaller than the front seat of a Volkswagen bug. It made Apollo seem like a super-duper, plush touring bus.

Gemini was a tough go. It was smaller than the front seat of a Volkswagen bug. It made Apollo seem like a super-duper, plush touring bus.

Apollo delivers a powerful inventory forecasting solution that enables Retailers to maximize revenue by employing an improved measurement of customer demand. Apollo's approach reduces the cost and complexity of implementing predictive analytics, providing companies with a faster path to realizing ROI.

Apollo was just too big, like flying a big transport airplane, which fighter pilots don't really revere. Gemini was just about the right size.

The emphasis is on achieving goals rather than elegance, ... It has several elements to it. One is to say that the people who did Apollo were pretty smart.

The first arrival of earthly life on another celestial body ranks as an epochal event not only for our generation, but in the history of our planet. Neil Armstrong was at the cusp of the Apollo programme. This was a collective technological effort of epic scale, but his is the one name sure to be remembered centuries hence.

I speak with the Eternal through the instrument of nature, through the world's history: I read the soul of the artist in his Apollo.

All else being equal, we believe investors should use weakness to buy shares, as the business model of Apollo remains superior to its post-secondary peers and to many public companies with loftier valuations.

I wouldn't trade my career with anybody's. I'd trade a few movies with Tom Hanks - 'Apollo 13 and 'Forrest Gump' - but other than that, I love my career.

It's been surprisingly painless. I thought things might be a little rougher than they have been. The parents from Apollo have been fairly supportive. But the Sauk Rapids people have been really happy as far as having a program for their kids to play in.

It is very Apollo-like ... but bigger. Think Apollo on steroids.

I can still remember them wheeling the black and white TV sets into our classroom at school so we could watch the men landing on the Moon, and that obviously had a huge impact. I later found out those people flying Apollo were ex-military test pilots, so I decided to join the Air Force and become a test pilot.

Apollo without Dionysus may indeed be a well-informed, good citizen but he's a dull fellow. He may even be 'cultured,' in the sense one often gets from traditionalist writings in education. . . . But without Dionysus he will never make and remake a culture.

Nor does Apollo keep his bow continually drawn. [Lat., Neque semper arcum Tendit Apollo.]

Let's work the problem, people. Let's not make things worse by guessing.

I don't care what anything was designed to do, I care about what it can do.

OK, let's get this mother out of here.

It's a strange, eerie sensation to fly a lunar landing trajectory not difficult, but somewhat complex and unforgiving.

There are two of them up here.

I suspect that even though the various questions are difficult and many, they are not as difficult and many as those we faced when we started the Apollo [space program] in 1961.

Hey, we missed the whole thing.

Program Alarm, it's a 1202.

We're number one on the runway.

The swan is not without cause dedicated to Apollo, because foreseeing his happiness in death, he dies with singing and pleasure.

So you wound up with Apollo/If he's sometimes hard to swallow/Use this.

Sometimes we don’t realize how destructive our creations are until it’s too late. And sometimes those creations we make turn on us and seek only to kill us even though we loved and succored them. (Apollo)

Comparing your family budget to the sovereign debt of the United States is a little like comparing two kindergartners tossing a paper airplane to the Apollo 11 mission.

Err Houston, we've had a problem. [pause] We've had a main B bus undervolt.

I grew up watching a lot of the coverage of the early U.S. space program, all the way back starting with Mercury and then through Gemini and Apollo and of course going to the moon as the main part of the Apollo program.

I did Showtime at the Apollo when I was 10, and it was the first time that Id ever performed on TV, and it felt great.

Different elevator music was playing since my last visit-that old disco song "Stayin' Alive." A terrifying image flashed through my mind of Apollo in bell-bottom pants and a slinky silk shirt.

I got the idea for Netflix after my company was acquired. I had a big late fee for Apollo 13. It was six weeks late and I owed the video store $40. I had misplaced the cassette. It was all my fault.

I have found it an amusing strategy, when asked whether I am an atheist, to point out that the questioner is also an atheist when considering Zeus, Apollo, Amon Ra, Mithras, Baal, Thor, Wotan, the Golden Calf and the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I just go one god further.

I felt like one of Apollo's sacred cows- slow, dumb, and bright red.

Five syllables," Apollo said, counting them on his fingers. "That would be real bad.

Apollo?” I guessed… He put a finger to his lips. “I’m incognito. Call me Fred.” A god named Fred?

Well," said Apollo with a brave smile. "You were right, my dear. You had everything under control! Let's go see if we boiled anyone important, shall we?

Apollo was a big, unwieldy vehicle. I had a problem with the flight controllers over that. It would try to fare its way like an airplane.

A little levity is appropriate in a dangerous trade.

We've got a bad fire let's get out . . . We're burning up.

If you had told Sycorax that her son Caliban was as handsome as Apollo, she would have been pleased, witch as she was.

in a sense, all poetry is positional: to try to express one's position in regard to the universe embraced by consciousness, is an immemorial urge. The arms of consciousness reach out and grope, and the longer they are the better. Tentacles, not wings, are Apollo's natural members.

The words of Mercury are harsh after the songs of Apollo.
