Jim Lovell
American Astronaut
The lunar flights give you a correct perception of our existence. You look back at Earth from the moon, and you can put your thumb up to the window and hide the Earth behind your thumb. Everything you've ever known is behind your thumb, and that blue-and-white ball is orbiting a rather normal star, tucked away on the outer edge of a galaxy.
Quote examples
Juan Felipe Herrera
American Poet
Sometimes it's like that. I go, 'You know what? I'm going to just change scales. I'm going to even change instruments. And I'm going to go into the chromatics of the Spanish language,' and I do. You know, the poem is totally different. It's like a lunar voice versus a day voice, a solar voice.
Quote examples
Jack Swigert
Where one component might do, two are used bcause rescue on a lunar mission would be next to impossible. After all, you're 250,000 miles from earth. It wouldn't be nearly so difficult while in earth orbit.
Quote examples
Jared Isaacman
American Businessman
Someday in the future, 50, a hundred years from now, you're going to have a lunar base, you're going to probably have some sort of a Martian colony. But you have to start somewhere.
Quote examples
Peter Diamandis
American Businessman
From a scientific point of view, we now know that the water is interlaced with the lunar soil in many locations, perhaps as remnants of comet collisions with the lunar surface.
Quote examples
Buzz Aldrin
American Astronaut
The way I see it, commercial interests should manage a lunar base while NASA gets on with the really important task of flying to Mars.

Norman Cousins
American Author
What was most significant about the lunar voyage was not that men set foot on the moon but that they set eye on the earth.
Quote examples
Henry Spencer
Canadian Scientist
As plans for the first lunar landing started to be made, nobody had really thought about who would be out first.

Peggy Whitson
American Astronaut
I would love to set foot on another planet - lunar or Mars or somewhere.
