Quotes About Space

I love being in a public space where teenagers are talking. And the funny thing is that it hasn't changed that much. There's certainly slang that I'm not familiar with, but among the average teen, it's still the same.
~ Marti Noxon
She was so small she could make mamba in a telephone booth.
~ Bill Haley
The Hubble Telescope can see the farthest galaxies. The Webb Telescope will see the farthest stars.
~ Heidi Hammel
I can't imagine anywhere I'd rather be than outside the space shuttle in my space suit next to the Hubble Space Telescope.
~ John M. Grunsfeld
Ironically, it is only when disaster strikes that the shuttle makes the headlines. Its routine flights attracted less media interest than unmanned probes to the planets or the images from the Hubble Telescope. The fate of Columbia (like that of Challenger in 1986) reminded us that space is still a hazardous environment.
~ Martin Rees
The Hubble Space Telescope is more than remarkable. It has answered just so many of those fundamental questions that people have been asking about the cosmos since people were able to ask questions.
~ John M. Grunsfeld
The Next Generation Space Telescope, which will be located much further away from the Earth than the Hubble Space Telescope presently is, will also explore the infrared part of the spectrum.
~ Claude Nicollier
The Hubble Space Telescope, which was designed for extreme servicing, you know, we can fix everything. And the James Webb Space Telescope, where we can fix nothing. It has to work the first time. And it's a very complicated telescope.
~ John M. Grunsfeld
I think probably the discoveries made by Hubble Space Telescope have been very dramatic, very amazing.
~ Peggy Whitson
Hubble is absolutely unique; we must have a telescope in space to complement the very large telescopes on the ground.
~ Heidi Hammel
The team at the Space Telescope Science Institute has a demonstrated record of meeting the high-performance challenges of operating the Hubble Space Telescope and preparing for the James Webb Space Telescope.
~ John M. Grunsfeld
I kind of feel like I found my cause in life servicing the Hubble Space Telescope.
~ John M. Grunsfeld
Seeing outward is equivalent to looking backward in time because the telescope's mirror is capturing primeval light... galaxies that existed before our time.
~ Richard Preston
A radio telescope pointing at the sky receives radiation not only from space, but also from other sources including the ground, the earth's atmosphere, and the components of the radio telescope itself.
~ Robert Woodrow Wilson
The Hubble images far surpassed anything taken by any telescope on Earth.
~ Heidi Hammel
Here we were, the only seven humans in space, repairing a telescope whose only purpose is to enrich the minds of people on planet Earth and increase our understanding of the workings of the universe. I can think of no better peaceful use of space for all humankind.
~ John M. Grunsfeld
I think I set myself on a course to become a scientist around about the time that Carl Sagan's 'Cosmos' series was on television, and there really was no going back for me at that point, and then I went on to study space science and then get my Ph.D., then go aboard and work in the European Space Agency.
~ Alastair Reynolds
Television news was expanding to an hour, and producers did not know how to fill the space and time.
~ Joel Siegel
I would say keep supporting space flight, keep telling the public and the politicians why it's important to advance science and explore the galaxy. I encourage the Japanese to keep doing what they're doing.
~ Leroy Chiao
I think the novel is not so much a literary genre, but a literary space, like a sea that is filled by many rivers. The novel receives streams of science, philosophy, poetry and contains all of these; it's not simply telling a story.
~ Jose Saramago
I keep up with James Kochalka's online strip, and if I see a link somewhere or someone tells me about something, I'll look at it, but I don't usually keep up with any sites other than the 'American Elf.' I always have this feeling that there's not enough space in the screen, like everything's always getting cut off.
~ Jeffrey Brown
'Anthony and the Magic Picture Frame' tells it like it really was in America's early space program - the adventure, the risks, and the rewards.
~ Buzz Aldrin
In Tamil and Telugu, I have to do mainstream commercial films. Irrespective of what I want to do, the audience wants to see me in that 'mass' space.
~ Dhanush
Le temps ni l'espace, rien ne s'oppose à ces relations idéales.
~ Robert Desnos
