Rocket scientists agree that we have about reached the limit of our ability to travel in space using chemical rockets. To achieve anything near the speed of light we will need a new energy source and a new propellant. Nuclear fission is not an option.
~By Wilson Greatbatch ~
One likes to think that one anticipates changes in the spaces we inhabit, and our ideas about space.
~By Jasper Johns ~
Space ails us moderns: we are sick with space.
~By Robert Frost ~
Space or science fiction has become a dialect for our time.
~By Doris Lessing ~
It was as though all my hostilities, anxieties, and conflicts were in one ball that was flying away into space, farther from me all the time, leaving me content with myself.
~By Bobby Darin ~
I have a lot of objects in my space, little things, reminders, memories.
~By Marc Newson ~
I can't think of anything specific growing up that pointed me toward NASA at all. I was interested in the Moon landings just about the same as everyone else of my generation. But I never really thought about being an astronaut or working in space myself.
~By Laurel Clark ~
I think the American West really attracts me because it's romantic. The desert, the empty space, the drama.
~By Ang Lee ~
When man becomes reconciled to nature, when space becomes his true background, these words and concepts will have lost their meaning, and we will no longer have to use them.
~By Michelangelo Antonioni ~
The cynical part of the answer is that I expect to see a good deal more space opera, set far enough in the future as to be disconnected from contemporary issues.
~By John M. Ford ~
At the moment I'm doing this space movie, so I'm obsessed with physics and space travel. I know three months down the line it's gone. Then I'll be able to superficially say stuff about space.
~By Cillian Murphy ~
I think the crux of the matter was that if we were going to become partners in, for example, the International Space Station, we had to gain the respect of a country like the United States and particularly its space organization, NASA.
~By Marc Garneau ~
It helped me in the air to keep my small mind contained in earthly human limits, not lost in vertiginous space and elements unknown.
~By Diana Cooper ~
Sorry; I have no space left for advice. Just do it.
~By Donald E. Westlake ~
I appeared on a show with Jonathan Harris on it-the Bill Dana show-even before Lost In Space. Someone gave me a tape of it in the past year, but in all these years we hadn't remembered.
~By Mark Goddard ~
Scripture suggests that the elements in space were created for the benefit of earth, while evolution suggests that earth is an insignificant speck in vast space.
~By Walter Lang ~
There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition.
~By Rod Serling ~
I would say keep supporting space flight, keep telling the public and the politicians why it's important to advance science and explore the galaxy. I encourage the Japanese to keep doing what they're doing.
~By Leroy Chiao ~
We humans are an extremely important manifestation of the replication bomb, because it is through us - through our brains, our symbolic culture and our technology - that the explosion may proceed to the next stage and reverberate through deep space.
~By Richard Dawkins ~
In Japanese art, space assumed a dominant role and its position was strengthened by Zen concepts.
~By Stephen Gardiner ~
I hate it when people slag us off. We had done three tours during 1970 and we finished off feeling we had just about had enough. We had done so much in that short space of time, we were drained.
~By John Bonham ~
I credit poetry for making this space-walk possible.
~By Seamus Heaney ~
James's expedition to Scotland is wholly imaginary, though there appears to have been space for it during Henry's progress to the North to pay his devotions at Beverley Minster.
~By Charlotte Mary Yonge ~
But, after all, the aim of art is to create space - space that is not compromised by decoration or illustration, space within which the subjects of painting can live.
~By Frank Stella ~
Eventually there are going to be cities in space.
~By Alan Bean ~
Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space, but when you return, it's the same old place.
~By Barry McGuire ~
On a standard space shuttle crew, two of the astronauts have a test pilot background - the commander and the pilot.
~By Sally Ride ~
The black holes of nature are the most perfect macroscopic objects there are in the universe: the only elements in their construction are our concepts of space and time.
~By Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar ~
And of course, I absolutely loved making Lost in Space as a kid.
~By Bill Mumy ~
Creation is all space, all time - all things past, present, and future.
~By Matthew Fox ~
Then during the mission itself, I used the space shuttle's robot arm to release a satellite into orbit.
~By Sally Ride ~
The ideas keep going, you have the material, you cut because there's a limit to the space allowed to you. And the space is limited because of some other constraints that have to do with money or printing or whatever.
~By Ted Nelson ~
Doing Saturday Night Live definitely affects my relationship with my girlfriend and with my family, because you feel so much pressure to do well that night. But I think everyone's grown to accept that and so they give me my space at the show.
~By Adam Sandler ~
San Francisco lags behind other communities in providing a vital, vibrant and ecologically sustainable urban canopy, as well as open space in the city.
~By Gavin Newsom ~
The modern artist is working with space and time, and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating.
~By Jackson Pollock ~
Art, after all, is traditionally displayed against vacancies: paintings on dun walls, sculptures in empty spaces, music in quiet halls.
~By John Hart ~
After the Challenger accident, NASA put in a lot of time to improve the safety of the space shuttle to fix the things that had gone wrong.
~By Sally Ride ~
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.
~By Mark Kelly ~
I think if you have a really big, heavy person, there's a feeling of an invisible puppeteer jerking them around in space. They don't feel like they are moving themselves.
~By Brad Bird ~
You can't plan for the future, because some guy's going to land in a spaceship with three heads and a big beak and take over everything.
~By Paul Kantner ~
It is only in the world of objects that we have time and space and selves.
~By T. S. Eliot ~
I don't think there is anything wrong with white space. I don't think it's a problem to have a blank wall.
~By Annie Leibovitz ~
We'd never have got a chance to go outside and look at the earth if it hadn't been for space exploration and NASA.
~By James Lovelock ~
There is just one thing I can promise you about the outer-space program - your tax-dollar will go further.
~By Wernher von Braun ~
For an object under the eye will appear very different from the same object placed above it; in an inclosed space, very different from the same in an open space.
~By Marcus V. Pollio ~
The question that will decide our destiny is not whether we shall expand into space. It is: shall we be one species or a million? A million species will not exhaust the ecological niches that are awaiting the arrival of intelligence.
~By Freeman Dyson ~
One day, people will be able to buy tickets to visit space.
~By Leroy Chiao ~
I usually get recognized for Spaceballs.
~By Daphne Zuniga ~
This has been a great experience for me. The first couple of days you don't always feel too well. You adjust to the fluid shifting, how to fly through space without hitting things or anybody else. But then you get in a groove.
~By Laurel Clark ~
I see nothing in space as promising as the view from a Ferris wheel.
~By E. B. White ~
The newspapers loved pinup pictures of pretty young swimmers, and as a national champion, I got more than my share of space in the sports pages.
~By Esther Williams ~
But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
~By Khalil Gibran ~
The world itself looks cleaner and so much more beautiful. Maybe we can make it that way - the way God intended it to be - by giving everyone, eventually, that new perspective from out in space.
~By Roger B. Chaffee ~
If you take 2001: A Space Odyssey as an example of somebody who creates a new language in film by what he was able to accomplish with art direction, photography, lighting, etc., it is still a gold standard for science fiction.
~By Matthew Modine ~
And what we know, or think we know, about the universe of space and time is changing very quickly.
~By Fred Saberhagen ~
A vacant white room with lights is still a submission to the neutral. Works of art seen in such spaces seem to be going through a kind of esthetic convalescence.
~By Robert Smithson ~
I'm not going away. I'll still be very much involved in the team but not with the same number of hours. I need to move over and allow the people who are really doing the job the space to do so.
~By Jackie Stewart ~
But even in elementary school and junior high, I was very interested in space and in the space program.
~By Sally Ride ~
They forbade me from flying, despite all my protests and arguments. After being once in space, I was desperately keen to go back there. But it didn't happen.
~By Valentina Tereshkova ~
Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.
~By Anais Nin ~
I don't believe in angels, no. But I do have a wee parking angel. It's on my dashboard and you wind it up. The wings flap and it's supposed to give you a parking space. It's worked so far.
~By Billy Connolly ~
I cannot join the space program and restart my life as an astronaut, but this opportunity to connect my abilities as an educator with my interests in history and space is a unique opportunity to fulfill my early fantasies.
~By Christa McAuliffe ~
It's a very sobering feeling to be up in space and realize that one's safety factor was determined by the lowest bidder on a government contract.
~By Alan Shepard ~
Space is the stature of God.
~By Joseph Joubert ~
Man must be in space - that is what we are destined for. There is nothing else that we can do.
~By Majel Barrett ~
Thus passing through the infinite varieties of space we reach the Divine space which is absolutely free from all dimensions and constitutes the meeting point of all infinities.
~By Muhammed Iqbal ~
I've already written 300 space poems. But I look upon my ultimate form as being a poetic prose. When you read it, it appears to be prose, but within the prose you have embedded the techniques of poetry.
~By Story Musgrave ~
Especially when I first really started to work with Kenneth and Franklin, who had been in space already. And so, they were able to talk about space and tell me a few things about how things would really happen.
~By Philippe Perrin ~
I just don't think there are any rules to color. You have a small space with no windows? Put lamps in there, make it dramatic, paint the ceiling black. Do something with it. If it's dark, accentuate the darkness.
~By David Bromstad ~
To try to write a grand cosmical drama leads necessarily to myth. To try to let knowledge substitute ignorance in increasingly larger regions of space and time is science.
~By Hannes Alfven ~
People are transported to that space that Poe wanted to make available to us.
~By John Astin ~
Any person, brought into the presence of this fact, stops for a few moments and remains pensive and silent; and then generally leaves, carrying with him forever a sharper, keener sense of our incessant motion through space.
~By Leon Foucault ~
The 20th Century was the century of Aviation and the century of Globalization. The next century will be the century of Space.
~By Wilson Greatbatch ~
That great Cathedral space which was childhood.
~By Virginia Woolf ~
It is strange, but nobody is shocked when pop singers make a fortune in the space of two years.
~By Placido Domingo ~
At this point we've answered about every question you could possibly imagine about Deep Space Nine, so we do this thing called Theatrical Jazz, where we do a show of bits and pieces of things from plays and literature, poetry... stuff that we like. It's fun.
~By Rene Auberjonois ~
Nobody has ever built a reliable peer-to-peer service, where people can really access all the music they want in one location,... Once I got it into my head, I couldn't imagine the media space without one.
~By Shawn Fanning ~
I think that films or indeed any art work should be made in a way that they are infinitely viewable; so that you could go back to it time and time again, not necessarily immediately but over a space of time, and see new things in it, or new ways of looking at it.
~By Peter Greenaway ~
I also administer the Internet Assigned Names Authority, which is the central coordinator for the Internet address space, domain names and Internet protocol conventions essential to the use and operation of the Internet.
~By Jon Postel ~
Theatre is a sacred space for actors. You are responsible; you are in the driving-seat.
~By Greta Scacchi ~
The inner spaces that a good story lets us enter are the old apartments of religion.
~By John Updike ~
A voice expressing emotion in a musical way moves on. It's like the finale of the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) - the world turns in on itself, as a universe unto itself, in the shape of one human being.
~By Dwight Yoakam ~
I think space exploration is very important. I think there is very intelligent life on Mars. I believe that Martians are spying on us from the bottom of the ocean.
~By Annabella Sciorra ~
Painting is the most magical of mediums. The transcendence is truly amazing to me every time I go to a museum and I see how somebody figured another way to rub colored dirt on a flat surface and make space where there is no space or make you think of a life experience.
~By Chuck Close ~
The heavy spacesuits are spectacular to look at but very hot. Putting one on was like going from chilly London winter weather to the Bahamas in just minutes.
~By Kathleen Quinlan ~
When this space walk will be completed, then the arm will be fully operational and ready for the next activity that will be pretty much the testing, the first flight testing of the space station arm.
~By Umberto Guidoni ~
I wanted to improve the suburban office building; to create a great urban space in a suburban environment with all that implies about interaction, collaboration and creativity.
~By Helmut Jahn ~
Having the Stitch character, the villain that becomes a hero, coming from outer space, it took a very difficult and complex story and put it into a simpler, kinder time.
~By Tia Carrere ~
And everything stopped quite rapidly because I knew that nobody in Europe was able to go to space. It was the privilege of being either American or Russian.
~By Philippe Perrin ~
Through these ongoing activities and possibly in the future, a Canadian will go live and work on the International Space Station and we will continue to make Canadians proud of our achievements in space.
~By Marc Garneau ~
Firstly, people take for granted that the E.U. has created the biggest economic space in the world.
~By Peter Mandelson ~
If leaders in the space program had at its beginning in the 1940s, pointed out the benefits to people on earth rather than emphasizing the search for proof of evolution in space, the program would have saved $100 billion in tax money and achieved greater results.
~By Walter Lang ~
NASA space scientists have been studying giraffe skin so they can apply what they learn from it to the construction of spacesuits.
~By Joanna Lumley ~
At night, when the sky is full of stars and the sea is still you get the wonderful sensation that you are floating in space.
~By Natalie Wood ~
In almost every profession - whether it's law or journalism, finance or medicine or academia or running a small business - people rely on confidential communications to do their jobs. We count on the space of trust that confidentiality provides. When someone breaches that trust, we are all worse off for it.
~By Hillary Clinton ~
The hand has the richest articulation of space.
~By Eduardo Chillida ~
Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.
~By Maya Angelou ~
A small house must depend on its grouping with other houses for its beauty, and for the preservation of light air and the maximum of surrounding open space.
~By Clarence Stein ~
The eternal silence of these infinite spaces frightens me.
~By Blaise Pascal ~
I believe we can do more in making the President's vision for space exploration a reality by awarding cash prizes to encourage greater participation of the private sector in the national space program.
~By Dana Rohrabacher ~
