Fritz Zwicky Quotes

We should be ready to reach out beyond our planet and beyond our solar system to find out what is really going on out there.

With every inch of land on Earth now catalogued by our satellites, the stars are the next place we as a species must travel. And with a booming world population that will hit 9.1 billion in 2050, large-scale space travel may become a necessity.

I want to get to the moon. I want to go to Mars.

Man must at all costs overcome the Earth's gravity and have, in reserve, the space at least of the Solar System.

While the circumnavigation of the solar system seems farfetched, it may not be once the problem of effective anti-gravitational control is solved.

The Exploration of Cosmic Space by Means of Reaction Devices

I'd love to go into space again if there were a mission to Mars. I'd also love to go to a completely different planetary system, out of our solar system.

I am humbled and excited by new opportunities for me to support and share the amazing work NASA is doing to help us travel farther into the solar system and work with the next generation of science and technology leaders.

Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time.

There's something cool about being involved in new missions to other planets.

When Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon for the first time and said the famous words, 'That's one small step for a man; one giant leap for mankind,' he was talking about all of us. Men and women.

Exploration of closer planets will continue. Only after he exhausts all the resources here on earth will man go further ahead, which is when interplanetary travel may take place.

Planets look about the same here as they do to you on the Earth because we really aren't that much closer. Our home, the International Space Station, orbits around the Earth at about 200 miles.

Space is really domain expansion.

I think the International Space Station is providing a key bridge from us living on Earth to going somewhere into deep space.

NASA's charter is to give Americans the means to get into the wild, black yonder, beyond even the grasp of the federal government that funded it.

It changes your perspective to be able to look out the window and see the planet. One of the thoughts that I had when I first got up here was, 'We really do live on a planet, and we are in a solar system, and we are flying through space right now.' I mean, this is something that you know, obviously, but to see the planet - it's amazing.

Absolutely the most fun thing to do in space and rewarding thing, in many ways, is to look back at planet Earth.

My desire to contribute to the spaceflight team as we move forward in our exploration of space has only increased over the years.
