Winston Churchill Quotes

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

I don't think the space station is innovative. Going to the moon was innovative because we had no idea how to do it.

I've put a lot of my life into making it possible to fly in space at all.

I've been lucky enough to fly to space twice.

I am not sufficiently conceited to think that my sun is the only one with a family of planets and, therefore, that our little earth is unique. Once we admit that the other stars probably also have planets, at any rate a goodly proportion of them, it is more than likely that a large fraction of these will be the right size to keep on their surface water and, possibly, an atmosphere of some sort; and, furthermore, at the proper distance from their parent sun, to maintain a suitable temperature.

All we can say is that with hundreds of thousands of nebulae, each containing thousands of millions of suns, the odds are enormous that there must be immense numbers which possess planets whose circumstances would not render life impossible. If we are sufficiently self-centered and choose to deny that any of these support life, no one can prove we are wrong. But I, for one, am not so immensely impressed by the success we are making of our civilization here that I am prepared to think we are the only spot in this immense universe which contains living, thinking creatures, or that we are the highest type of mental and physical development which has ever appeared in the vast compass of space and time.

Spaceflight is a tricky business. It is definitely difficult, and I think we forget that sometime.

In order to be stimulated or moved in the future, we probably have to go into space and look at our world from there.

I've always been interested in the idea of space exploration. When I was younger it was just a dream, but the theory of rockets being able to travel through space was very much alive. I found it very exciting.

Perhaps one day I will go into space.

I actually want to go up into space.

I always knew I'd go to space.

Man will not always stay on Earth; the pursuit of light and space will lead him to penetrate the bounds of the atmosphere, timidly at first, but in the end to conquer the whole of solar space.

The Exploration of Cosmic Space by Means of Reaction Devices

The future of the human face is space exploration.

Anything that stimulates the public's imagination about the nobility and the importance of space exploration is something that I'm very excited to be a part of.

There's going to be space travel at some point.

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.

The thing I like most about flying in space is not the view. The thing I like about it is doing something I feel very, very strongly about.

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.

The exploration of space: Be it by humans or robots, based on the best choice for the mission and the most efficient means to return the data and science sought. Most of the time, this will mean we send robots due to cost and danger. But sometimes, we will need the irreplaceable judgment and descriptive abilities of a person on the spot.

After being once in space, I was keen to go back there. But it didn't happen.

Most people never believed in the real possibility of going to the moon, and neither did I until I was in my twenties.

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.

Space excites me. My dream is to go to space.
