Wernher von Braun Science Quotations

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

There is just one thing I can promise you about the outer-space program - your tax-dollar will go further.

It will free man from the remaining chains, the chains of gravity which still tie him to this planet.

Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down ? That's not my department.

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.

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?

Science does not have a moral dimension. It is like a knife. If you give it to a surgeon or a murderer, each will use it differently.

The rocket worked perfectly except for landing on the wrong planet.

Crash programs fail because they are based on theory that, with nine women pregnant, you can get a baby in a month.
