NASA Quotes by Famous Authors
1.
“We need to look at NASA, not as a handout, but as an investment.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson
2.
“No one with a living room radio that was a piece of furniture at the time would say, gee. I want to carry that around on my hip pocket. That was not a thought until NASA initiated this whole exercise. So there’s an influence that’s not just spinoff.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson
3.
“The problem is that many people operate on the assumption that NASA should go to Congress every year with hat in hand and justify it every year. Well, I see it as the greatest economic driver that there ever was. Economic drivers don't need justification.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson
4.
“I was born the same week NASA was founded, so we’re the same age and feel some of the same pains, joys, and frustrations.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson
5.
“Miniaturization of electronics started by NASA’s push became an entire consumer products industry. Now we’re carrying the complete works of Beethoven on a lapel pin listening to it in headphones.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson
6.
“Fortunately, there's another handy driver that has manifested itself throughout the history of cultures. The urge to want to gain wealth. That is almost as potent a driver as the urge to maintain your security. And that is how I view NASA going forward - as an investment in our economy.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson
7.
“NASA has spin-offs, and it’s a huge and very impressive list, including accurate and affordable LASIK eye surgery.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson
8.
“When Kennedy said, ‘Let’s go to the moon,’ we didn’t yet have a vehicle that wouldn’t kill you on launch. He said we’ll land a man on the moon in eight years and bring him back. That was an audacious goal to put forth in front of the American people.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson
9.
“When NASA says they’re going into space, they don’t mean up and back. They mean orbit.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson
10.
“All the traditional STEM fields, the science, technology, engineering, and math fields, are stoked when you dream big in an agency such as NASA.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson
11.
“Only realistic flight schedules should be proposed, schedules that have a reasonable chance of being met. If in this way the government would not support them, then so be it. NASA owes it to the citizens from whom it asks support to be frank, honest, and informative.”
Richard P. Feynman
12.
“I'm substantially concerned about the policy directions of the space agency. We have a situation in the U.S. where the White House and Congress are at odds over what the future direction should be. They're sort of playing a game and NASA is the shuttlecock that they're hitting back and forth.”
Neil Armstrong
13.
“NASA has been one of the most successful public investments in motivating students to do well and achieve all they can achieve. It's sad that we are turning the programme in a direction where it will reduce the amount of motivation and stimulation it provides to young people.”
Neil Armstrong
14.
“There's a silly notion that failure's not an option at NASA. Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.”
Elon Musk
15.
“I feel very strongly that SpaceX would not have been able to get started, nor would we have made the progress that we have, without the help of NASA.”
Elon Musk
16.
“When I was a kid, I was a bit of a space geek.”
