Space Quote of the Month - June-December 2005:"Space isn't remote at all. It's only an hour's drive away if your car could go straight upwards."
- Sir Fred Hoyle,
Space Quote of the Month - May-June:"...it was a cherished experience. I feel I got the chance to see the inner workings of the grand order of things. In the overall scheme of things, it proves that men can do about anything they want to if they work hard enough at it, and I knew that I could do it... and that leads, of course, to a strong suspicion that everybody else can do it if they want to."
- Scott Carpenter,
Space Quote of the Month - April-May:"Concern for man himself and his fate must always be the chief interest of all technical endeavors...in order that the creations of our mind shall be a blessing and not a curse to mankind. Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations."
- Albert
Einstein, (1879–1955), Space Quote of the Month - February-March:"...There it was. Instantly, I knew I had a planet beyond the orbit of Neptune because I knew the amount of shift was what fitted the situation and that was the most instantaneous thrill you can imagine. It just electrified me! That was the 18th of February, 1930, about four o'clock in the afternoon. I realized in a few seconds' flash that I'd made a great discovery, that I'd become famous, and I didn't know what would happen after that. It was a very intense thrill. You don't have that kind of a thrill very often."
- Clyde Tombaugh, 1906-1997, Space Quote of the Month - January-February 2005:"Commander McCool pursued his dream of space flight with vigor and passion and, by his life and accomplishments, is an inspiration for school children everywhere to dare to dream big things, to believe in themselves, and to reach for the stars."
- Congressional
Record transcript, Space Quote of the Month - December 2004-January 2005:"The view of the earth from the moon fascinated me--a small disk, 240,000 miles away.....Raging nationalistic interests, famines, wars, pestilence don't show from that distance...."
- Frank Borman,
