“More often than not, we see cars orbiting the parking lot.”
Bill Phillips
“First we have to get it into orbit, which is not an easy task.”
Doug McCuistion
“The satellite did not go into orbit because of a dysfunction in the final stage.”
Vyacheslav Davidenko
“The engine would be in orbit, producing a beam of photons. The spacecraft would not have to carry that mass along.”
Henry Harris
“There is not much margin to get (the satellites) in the exact orbit we want it to be. It's an instantaneous launch window -- either you go or don't go.”
Bruce Buckingham
“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
