Quotes by Orbit Nightside, cities glistened in chains, and a spray of tinkertoy habitats girdled the planet. Gossamer starbridges reached from the equator towards orbit. Alastair Reynolds habitat orbit cities There are no "standards of Right". Ethics is balderdash. Each Star must go on its own orbit. To hell with "moral principle"; there is no such thing. Aleister Crowley orbit stars principles Hold fast, therefore, O circular philosopher, to thy centre, and drive the globe along its orbit by the momentum of thy thought. Amos Bronson Alcott orbit momentum philosophy Using material ferried up by rockets, it would be possible to construct a "space station" in ... orbit. The station could be provided with living quarters, laboratories and everything needed for the comfort of its crew, who would be relieved and provisioned by a regular rocket service. (1945) Arthur C. Clarke orbit space science Man and the earth move in orbits: what they did before, they will do again. Austin O'Malley orbit men moving Once you are in the orbit of your destiny, weightlessness is the only result. Baba Amte weightlessness orbit destiny Point-to-point transit via low orbit could dramatically speed up international flights, connecting the world even further. And safe, consistent space travel opens up the possibility of commercial space stations, trips to the moon and exploration beyond. Ben Parr orbit space moon Microsoft went into orbit because it had a booster rocket attached to it called IBM. Bill Gates orbit microsoft rockets If NASA is to reach beyond the Moon and someday reach Mars, it must be relieved of the burden of launching people and cargo to low earth orbit. To do that, we must invest more in commercial spaceflight. Bill Nye orbit moon people The world, the human world, is bound together not by protons and electrons, but by stories. Nothing has meaning in itself: all the objects in the world would be shards of bare mute blankness, spinning wildly out of orbit, if we didn't bind them together with stories. Brian Morton orbit would-be together No one knows how to make going to orbit orders of magnitude safer and orders of magnitude more affordable. Burt Rutan magnitude orbit order Not everyone can be an astronaut and go into space, some people with sufficient resources can purchase and fly sub-orbitally thanks to various companies and for more money (considerably) fly into orbit. Buzz Aldrin orbit space people I am excited to think that the development of commercial capabilities to send humans into low Earth orbit will likely result in so many more Earthlings being able to experience the transformative power of space flight. Buzz Aldrin space-flight orbit thinking Trips to Mars, the Moon, even orbit, will require that we provide astrotourists with as many comforts from home as possible, including paying each other. Buzz Aldrin orbit moon home Space is not just going up and coming back down again. Space is getting into orbit and being there, living there, establishing a presence, a permanence. Buzz Aldrin orbit space being-there When we can demonstrate that we can take off horizontally and put something into orbit, then we can begin to talk about increasing the amount of payload. But to say, 'I'm going to do that and put people into orbit' is a real leap. Buzz Aldrin orbit real people We could have human intelligence in orbit around Mars, building things there. Buzz Aldrin building-things orbit mars It's not easy to get human beings into orbit. So far only three nations have been able to do that, with all the resources that they put together. And I'm just a little skeptical that that's going to be done by the private sector without making use of what has been done by the government. Buzz Aldrin orbit government together Remember, Voyager was just a flyby, Cassini is in orbit. We have the opportunity for monitoring them and their behavior, their comings and goings, how they evolve, when they appear and disappear. Carolyn Porco orbit opportunity remember It seems to me, thinking of it, that there must be some universal plan which set in motion the orbiting of the electrons about the nucleus and the slower, more majestic orbit of the galaxies about one another to the very edge of space Clifford D.
