• Every age has its dreams, its symbols of romance. Past generations were moved by the graceful power of the great windjammers, by the distant whistle of locomotives pounding through the night, by the caravans leaving on the Golden Road to Samarkand, by quinqueremes of Nineveh from distant Ophir . . . Our grandchildren will likewise have their inspiration-among the equatorial stars. They will be able to look up at the night sky and watch the stately procession of the Ports of Earth-the strange new harbors where the ships of space make their planetfalls and their departures.

• With our present knowledge, we can respond to the challenge of stellar space flight solely with intellectual concepts and purely hypothetical analysis. Hardware solutions are still entirely beyond our reach and far, far away.

• But does Man have any 'right' to spread through the universe? Man is what he is, a wild animal with the will to survive, and (so far) the ability, against all competition. Unless one accepts that, anything one says about morals, war, politics, you name it, is nonsense. Correct morals arise from knowing what man is, not what do-gooders and well-meaning old Aunt Nellies would like him to be. The Universe will let us know - later - whether or not Man has any "right" to expand through it.

• El primer satélite artificial en orbitar la Tierra se llamó Sputnik. El primer ser vivo en el espacio fue Laika. El primer cohete a la Luna llevaba una bandera roja. La primera fotografía de la cara oculta de la Luna se hizo con una cámara soviética. Si un hombre orbita la Tierra este año, se llamará Iván.

• Tengo la impresión de estar en la base de algo en lo que los seres humanos se concentrarán durante los próximos 1.000 años, si no nos destruimos entretanto. Es posible que dentro de 50 años acabemos fuera de este sistema solar, dando vueltas por el universo, al menos dentro de nuestra galaxia, investigando otras estrellas y otros sistemas.

• Across the gulf of centuries, the blind smile of Homer is turned upon our age. Along the echoing corridors of time, the roar of the rockets merges now with the creak of the wind-taut rigging. For somewhere in the world today, still unconscious of his destiny, walks the boy who will be the first Odysseus of the Age of Space.

• Many people are shrinking from the future and from participation in the movement toward a new, expanded reality. And, like homesick travelers abroad, they are focusing their anxieties on home. The reasons are not far to seek. We are at a turning point in human history. . . . We could turn our attention to the problems that going to the Moon certainly will not solve ... But I think this would be fatal to our future. . . . A society that no longer moves forward does not merely stagnate; it begins to die.

• The shuttle tomorrow is truly like laying the last spike on the transcontinental railroad, only much more so. And whether or not we're going to see in in the next 10 or 20 years, there are people alive today who will see manufacturing in space from moon materials or from asteroids.

• "I have not made any arrogant, confident, boasting predictions at all. On the contrary, I have stuck hard to my "blood, toil, tears and sweat," to which I have added muddle and mismanagement, and that, to some extend I must admit, is what you have got out of it."

• Los estudios de mercado sugieren que el turismo espacial -un viaje a la órbita terrestre- podría atraer a 50.000 pasajeros al año si el precio del billete puede situarse por debajo de los 25.000 dólares. Eso es lo que decenas de miles de personas gastan cada año en viajes de la competencia, como la vuelta al mundo en cruceros de lujo y los viajes de aventura a la Antártida o al Everest.

• Flight out of the atmosphere is a simple thing to do and should have been available to the public twenty years ago. Ten years from now, we will have space tourism where you will be able to see the black sky and the curvature of the earth. It will be the most exciting roller coaster ride you can buy.

• Eventually we must leave Earth-at least a certain number of our progeny must as our sun approaches the end of its solar life cycle. But just as terrestrial explorers have always led the way for settlers, this will also happen extraterrestrially. Earth is our cradle, not our final destiny.

• Muchos, y algunos de los más acuciantes, de nuestros problemas terrestres sólo pueden resolverse yendo al espacio. Mucho antes de que se convirtiera en un bien en vías de desaparición, Thoreau proclamó la naturaleza como preservación del mundo. En el nuevo desierto del Sistema Solar puede residir la futura preservación de la humanidad.

• Development of the space station is as inevitable as the rising of the sun; man has already poked his nose into space and he is not likely to pull it back . . . . There can be no thought of finishing, for aiming at the stars-both literally and figuratively-is the work of generations, and no matter how much progress one makes, there is always the thrill of just beginning.
