Apollo Quotes - Page 8

• Creo que lo que más me impresionó fueron los amaneceres y atardeceres de Lunar. Éstos, en particular, ponen de relieve la crudeza del terreno. . . . El horizonte aquí es muy, muy crudo, el cielo es negro como el carbón y la tierra, o la luna más bien, perdón, es bastante clara, y el contraste entre el cielo y la luna es una vívida línea oscura.

  William Anders

• Puede que pasen otros cien años antes de que comprendamos el verdadero significado de Apolo. La exploración lunar no fue el equivalente de una pirámide americana, un monumento ocioso a la tecnología, sino más bien una piedra Rosetta, una llave para desvelar sueños aún no soñados.

• Armstrong, sitting in the commander's seat, spacesuit on, helmet on, plugged into electrical and environmental umbilical's, is a man who is not only a machine himself in the links of these networks, but is also a man sitting in (what Collins is later to call) a 'mini-cathedral.' a man somewhat more than a pilot, somewhat more than a superpilot, is in fact a veritable high priest of the forces of society and scientific history concentrated in that mini cathedral, a general of the church of the forces of technology.

• Every thought which enters the mind, every word we utter, every deed we perform, makes its impression upon the inmost fiber of our being and the result of these impressions is our character. The study of books, of music, or of the fine arts is not essential to a lofty character. It rests with the worker whether a rude piece of marble shall be squared into a horse-block or carved into an Apollo, a Psyche, or a Venus di Milo. It is yours, if you choose, to develop a spiritual form more beautiful than any of these, instinct with immortal life, refulgent with all the glory of character.

• Space has not changed but technology has, in many cases, improved dramatically. A good example is digital technology where today's cell phones are far more powerful than the computers on the Apollo Command Module and Lunar Module that we used to navigate to the moon and operate all the spacecraft control systems.

• We've introduced the New Apollo Energy Act, which is, I think, safe to say the most comprehensive and aggressive bill that has been introduced in Congress because it does have the scale, scope, and ambition of the original Apollo Project, and it attacks the problem in every way you can imagine. There's no silver bullet here, but there are lots of opportunities.

• Así que Nemerov nos mostró esta imagen, que es de Apolo desollando Marcio. No se piensa en Apolo como el tipo de persona que desollaría a alguien vivo. Pero la historia detrás de esto era que había un tipo que era un gran músico, y todas las mujeres lo amaban, y la gente comenzó a decir que era el mejor músico del mundo, por lo que Apolo se puso celoso y desafió a este tipo a un dual musical. Cada uno tocaría una canción y las musas juzgarían quién era el mejor músico.
