Human Space Flight

Famous quotes containing the words human, space and/or flight:

“I weathered some merry snow-storms, and spent some cheerful winter evenings by my fireside, while the snow whirled wildly without, and even the hooting of the owl was hushed.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I take SPACE to be the central fact to man born in America.... I spell it large because it comes large here. Large and without mercy.”
