“ The rocket worked perfectly except for landing on the wrong planet. ”
I'm convinced that before the year 2000 is over, the first child will have been born on the moon.
~ Wernher Von Braun
In future utopia will need to hurry to keep up with reality.
It [the rocket] will free man from his remaining chains, the chains of gravity which still tie him to this planet. It will open to him the gates of heaven.
Everything in space obeys the laws of physics. If you know these laws and obey them space will treat you kindly. And don't tell me man doesn't belong out there. Man belongs wherever he wants to go - and he'll do plenty well when he gets there.
