History
Never in all their history have men been able truly to conceive of the world as one: a single sphere, a globe, having the qualities of a globe, a round earth in which all the directions eventually meet, in which there is no center because every point, or none, is center — an equal earth which all men occupy as equals. The airman’s earth, if free men make it, will be truly round: a globe in practice, not in theory.
As we got further and further away, it [the Earth] diminished in size. Finally it shrank to the size of a marble, the most beautiful you can imagine. That beautiful, warm, living object looked so fragile, so delicate, that if you touched it with a finger it would crumble and fall apart. Seeing this has to change a man.
Manifesto
Across the sea of space, the stars are other suns.
Failure is not an option.
What was most significant about the lunar voyage was not that man set foot on the Moon but that they set eye on the earth.
Charter
If you could see the earth illuminated when you were in a place as dark as night, it would look to you more splendid than the moon.
Buy why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may as well ask why climb the highest mountain?
