Yet another proposal would have us rocket the waste into the sun, but, as you're probably aware, about one in ten of our space shots doesn't quite make it out of the earth's gravitational field. (David R. Brower)
I certainly remember building model rockets. It was fun to watch the rocket blast into the air, suspenseful to wonder if the parachute would open to bring the rocket safely back. View quote
Eric Allin Cornell
If there is a small rocket on top of a big one, and if the big one is jettisoned and the small one is ignited, then their speeds are added. View quote
Hermann Oberth
Build a rocket ship and leave the earth! View quote
Jon Heder
I even have a Harmony Rocket and a Stratocaster with a scalloped neck back in Florida. View quote
Daisy Berkowitz
When you launch in a rocket, you're not really flying that rocket. You're just sort of hanging on. View quote
Michael P. Anderson
Most technological advances in our life now come from serendipitous discoveries. That is a contraction of rocket technology and computer technology and atomic clock technology. View quote
Serge Haroche
My paint is like a rocket, which describes its own space. I try to make the impossible possible. What is happening I cannot foresee, it is a surprise. Painting, like passion, is an emotion full of truth and rings a living sound, like the roar coming from the lion's breast. View quote
Karel Appel
Today anyone who paints space must actually go into space to paint [the Russian cosmonaut Gagarin said on 12 April 1961 from his space capsule: 'The earthy is a beautiful blue colour'], but he must there go without any faking, and neither in an aeroplane, a parachute nor a rocket; he must go there by his own means, an autonomous, individual force; in a word, he must be capable of levitating.

Yves Klein
You can't ask your pharmacist to stock larger quantities of potassium nitrate because you want to make a bigger rocket. View quote
Kary Mullis
Rocket ships are exciting but so are roses on a birthday. (Leonard Nimoy)
His flight was a tremendous statement about tenacity, courage and brilliance. He crawled on top of that rocket that had never before flown into space with a person aboard, and he did it. That was an unbelievable act of courage. View quote
Alan Shepard
Returning to the moon is an important step for our space program. Establishing an extended human presence on the moon could vastly reduce the costs of further space exploration, making possible ever more ambitious missions. Lifting heavy spacecraft and fuel out of the Earth's gravity is expensive. Spacecraft assembled and provisioned on the moon could escape its far lower gravity using far less energy, and thus, far less cost. Also, the moon is home to abundant resources. Its soil contains raw materials that might be harvested and processed into rocket fuel or breathable air. We can use our time on the moon to develop and test new approaches and technologies and systems that will allow us to function in other, more challenging environments. The moon is a logical step toward further progress and achievement. View quote
George W. Bush
I have read a lot about it and I watched it and Liberty University, like a rocket ship, a really great rocket ship. View quote
Donald Trump
Along a parabola life like a rocket flies, Mainly in darkness, now and then on a rainbow. View quote
Andrey Voznesensky
And I think it's gonna be a long long time Till touch down brings me round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home. Oh no no no I'm a rocket man. View quote
Elton John
God,” I moaned. "Do they use that stuff as rocket fuel?” "No one made you keep drinking it.” "Hey, don't get preachy. Besides, I had to be polite.” "Sure,” she said. View quote
Richelle Mead
Anarchist reactionary, running-dog revisionist Hindu, Muslim, Catholic creation, evolutionist Rational, romantic, mystic, cynical, idealist Minimal expressionist, post-modern neo-symbolist Armchair rocket scientist, graffiti existentialist Deconstruction primitive performance photo-realist Be-bop or a one-drop or a hip-hop, lite-pop-metallist Gold adult contemporary, urban country capitalist -- You Bet Your Life (1991) View quote
Neil Peart
Rocket engineering is not like ditch digging. With ditch digging you can get 100 people and dig a ditch, and you will dig it a hundred times as faster if you get 100 people versus one. With rockets, you have to solve the problem of a particular level of difficulty; one person who can solve the problem is worth an infinite number of people who can't. View quote
Elon Musk
Although I am new in the business, my team is not. I would say that, person for person, there has never been a better rocket company in existence, in history. I don't think there has ever been a group this talented in one place, in one company, developing a rocket – ever. If you have millions of dollars it changes your lifestyle, and anyone who says differently is talking ########. I don't need to work, from a standard of living point of view, but I do, you know. I work every day and on weekends and I haven't taken a vacation for years. View quote
Elon Musk
Falcon One is going to be the lowest cost per flight to orbit of any production rocket. (Elon Musk)
I think the rocket business is quite cyclic. There are a great many peaks and troughs. View quote
Elon Musk
Rocket tech applied to a car opens up revolutionary possibilities. View quote
Elon Musk
So even if a fire develops, it can't really attack the particularly vulnerable locations like the pneumatic system or the avionics or the engine bay. We want to be in the situation that even if a fire develops, the rocket just keeps going. View quote
Elon Musk
So, I think the best analogy for rocket engineers, if you want to create complicated software, you can't run as an integrated whole, or run on the computer it's intended to run on, but, first time you run it, it has to run with no bugs. That's the essence of it. So ... we missed the mark there. View quote
