Quotes About Satellites

The exciting results from the Hubble, other satellites and probes would not have been possible without innovative solutions to many technical problems.
~ Nancy Roman
Boeing, LockMart, and hundreds of other companies, large and small, work in the space business, and they also create new techniques and technology; but they'd be nowhere if NASA and the Department of Defense hadn't shown the way by funding the first big rockets and satellites.

Stamp was also innovative about his assembly line, setting up his factory in Chandler so that the satellites were built horizontally instead of vertically. That meant the assemblers could work at waist level, whereas on military satellites, the technicians stood on ladders and leaned over. He trained Lockheed Martin in the new technique, then later bragged about it to his friends at Khrunichev in Moscow, only to be told, "We've done it that way for forty years.
~ John Bloom
In recent years astronomers have made newspaper headlines all over the world by mapping this radiation in exquisite detail with receivers carried on balloons and satellites. We know that the radiation has the spectrum of pure heat radiation to very high precision and its temperature is the same in different directions on the sky to an accuracy of about one part in 100,000.
~ John D. Barrow

As a heartless killing machine, I was a terrible failure.
