Space by itself, and time by itself, are doomed to fade away into mere shadows, and only a kind union of the two will preserve an independent reality.
Quote by -Albert Einstein
Any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is is clearly a man to be reckoned with.
Quote by -Douglas Adams
"There are as many atoms in one molecule of DNA as there are stars in a typical galaxy."
Quote by -Carl Sagan
"The immense distances to the stars and the galaxies mean that we see everything ins pace int he past, some as they were before the Earth came to be. Telescopes are time machines."
Quote by -Carl Sagan
"By looking far out into space we are also looking far back into time, back toward the horizon of the universe, back toward the epoch of the Big Bang."
Quote by -Carl Sagan
"A galaxy is composed of gas and dust and stars - billions upon billions of stars. Every star may be a sun to someone."
Quote by -Carl Sagan
"In the vastness of space and the immensity of time, it is my joy to share a planet and an epoch with Annie. [Dedication to Sagan's wife, Ann Druyan, in Cosmos]"
Quote by -Carl Sagan
"The universe is a pretty big place. If it's just us, seems like an awful waste of space."
Quote by -Carl Sagan
"Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another."
Quote by -Carl Sagan
"I'm urging NASA to foster the development of what I call 'runway landers.' No, that's not the name of a high stakes gambler from Vegas. It's a type of spacecraft that flies to orbit like the retiring Shuttles but then glides to a landing like an airplane on a runway. Just like the Shuttles do."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"When we can demonstrate that we can take off horizontally and put something into orbit, then we can begin to talk about increasing the amount of payload. But to say, 'I'm going to do that and put people into orbit' is a real leap."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"As we begin to have landings on the moon, we can alternate those with vertical launch of similar crew modules on similar launch vehicles for vertical-launch tourism in space, if you want to call it that... adventure travel."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"When you go to Mars, you need to have made the decision that you're there permanently. The more people we have there, the more it can become a sustaining environment. Except for very rare exceptions, the people who go to Mars shouldn't be coming back. Once you get on the surface, you're there."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"The purpose of going to Mars is for humans to first begin to occupy, permanently, another planet in the solar system. The astronauts or pilgrims, whatever you might call them, are going to be very historically unique human beings."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"Just as Mars - a desert planet - gives us insights into global climate change on Earth, the promise awaits for bringing back to life portions of the Red Planet through the application of Earth Science to its similar chemistry, possibly reawakening its life-bearing potential."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"What are you going to do with astronauts who first reach the surface of Mars and then turn around and rocket back home-ward? What are they going to do, write their memoirs? Would they go again? Having them repeat the voyage, in my view, is dim-witted. Why don't they stay there on Mars?"
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"NASA's been one of the most successful public investments in motivating students to do well and achieve all they can achieve, and it's sad that we are turning the program in a direction where it will reduce the amount of motivation it provides to young people."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"You need propellants to accelerate toward Mars, then to decelerate at Mars, again to re-accelerate from Mars to Earth, and finally to decelerate back at Earth. Accordingly, the mass of these required propellants, in short, drives our need for innovative launch vehicles."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"Bringing an asteroid back to Earth? What's that have to do with space exploration? If we were moving outward from there, and an asteroid is a good stopping point, then fine. But now it's turned into a whole planetary defense exercise at the cost of our outward exploration."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"If we go back to the moon, we're guaranteed second, maybe third place because while we are spending all that money, Russia has its eye on Mars. Landing people on the moon will be terribly consuming of resources we don't have. It sounds great - 'Let's go back. This time we're going to stay.' I don't know why you would want to stay on the moon."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"There may be aliens in our Milky Way galaxy, and there are billions of other galaxies. The probability is almost certain that there is life somewhere in space."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"I think both the space shuttle program and the International Space Station program have not really lived up to their expectations."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"There's a historical milestone in the fact that our Apollo 11 landing on the moon took place a mere 66 years after the Wright Brothers' first flight."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"I didn't start skiing until I was 50. My wife Lois taught me how to ski. I'm proficiently conservative."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"When I was a little kid, we only knew about our nine planets. Since then, we've downgraded Pluto but have discovered that other solar systems and stars are common. So life is probably quite prevalent."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"I was motivated to improve the U.S. strategy of going back to the moon in 1985. That's a long time ago. Going back to the moon would be a great achievement for tourism adventure flights."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"We must still think of ourselves as pioneers to understand the importance of space."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"Being first outside the spacecraft would bring much more responsibility, and I really wasn't looking for that."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"Before deciding what to do about national space policy, Obama set up an outside review panel of space experts, headed up by my friend Norm Augustine, former head of Lockheed Martin and a former government official."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"I think there would be no shortage of applicants to the government astronaut corps to be settlers on the planet Mars. And I think this would be very inspiring."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"Instead of planning the retirement of the Space Shuttle program, America should be preparing the shuttles for their next step in space: evolving, not shutting them down and laying off thousands of people."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"The first footfalls on Mars will mark a historic milestone, an enterprise that requires human tenacity matched with technology to anchor ourselves on another world."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"I wrote 'Reaching for the Moon' because I wanted to tell kids that all of us have a moon, a dream, that we can strive for. Even if you don't attain it, you can at least reach for it."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"Walking around on the moon was significantly easier than we'd thought it would be. There weren't any balance problems, so you weren't tumbling over."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"I know: If you're looking down at Earth, you're looking through an atmosphere that has a bit of haze in many places and not just occasional clouds."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"Retain the vision for space exploration. If we turn our backs on the vision again, we're going to have to live in a secondary position in human space flight for the rest of the century."
