“What ordinary men are directly aware of and what they try to do are bounded by the private orbits in which they live; their visions and their powers are limited.”
C. Wright Mills
“Mars is essentially in the same orbit. Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If there is oxygen, then we can breathe.”
Dan Quayle
“Ask ten engineers for the best orbit for a particular spacecraft and you'll get ten different ideas.”
Dario Izzo
“Or you could just have a big object tossed in close to the star. It goes into orbit and it will get torn apart by the gravity of the star once it gets close enough.”
Ben Zuckerman
“When you ride a good rocket ship to orbit, you have a lot to be thankful for.”
Bill Shepherd
“If we can send a spaceship into orbit, we can definitely guide a bike across the gym floor with a child on it,”
Richard Klein
“There's almost no gravity at the surface. If you were standing on [the surface], you could jump into orbit.”
Donald Brownlee
