I'm convinced that before the year 2000 is over, the first child will have been born on the moon.

There is just one thing I can promise you about the outer-space program - your tax-dollar will go further.

I only hope that we shall not wait to adopt the program until after our astronomers have reported a new and unsuspected asteroid moving across their fields of vision with menacing speed. At that point it will be too late!

My experiences with science led me to God. They challenge science to prove the existence of God. But must we really light a candle to see the sun?

Everybody knows what the moon is, everybody knows what this decade is, and everybody can tell a live astronaut who returned from the moon from one who didn't

With our present knowledge, we can respond to the challenge of stellar space flight solely with intellectual concepts and purely hypothetical analysis. Hardware solutions are still entirely beyond our reach and far, far away.

If we were to start today on an organized and well-supported space program I believe a practical passenger rocket can be built and tested within ten years.
