57 Orbit Quotes for You to Enjoy

Fall in love with a dog, and in many ways you enter a new orbit, a universe that features not just new colors but new rituals, new rules, a new way of experiencing attachment. Caroline Knapp

Love You Dog Fall Universe Way Ways Rules Enter Attachment Features Rituals Colors New New Way Orbit Just Experiencing Many

If NASA is to reach beyond the Moon and someday reach Mars, it must be relieved of the burden of launching people and cargo to low earth orbit. To do that, we must invest more in commercial spaceflight. Bill Nye

People Burden Moon Cargo Earth Launching Must Relieved Mars Someday More Invest Reach Beyond NASA Commercial Orbit Low

NASA will send up a big sun shade that will be in orbit between the earth and sun and deflect 2 or 3 percent of the sunshine back into space. It would be cheaper than the international space station. James Lovelock

Sunshine Space Will Big Back Earth Sun Station Deflect Would Would-Be Shade Percent Cheaper Between NASA Up Than Send Orbit Space Station International International Space Station

Most Jupiter-sized planets orbit the mother star in a highly elliptical orbit. This means they will often cross the orbit of any Earth-like planet and fling it into outer space, making life impossible. But our Jupiter travels in a near-perfect circular orbit, preventing a collision with any Earth-like planet, making life possible. Michio Kaku

Life Mother Impossible Space Will Our Circular Possible Outer Outer Space Cross Collision Preventing Highly Most Making Jupiter Any Often Orbit Planet Planets Means Fling Star Travels

Astronauts have been stuck in low-Earth orbit, boldly going nowhere. American attempts to kick-start a new phase of lunar exploration have stalled amid the realisation that NASA's budget is too small for the job. Paul Davies

Space Job Too Astronauts Small Stuck Attempts Budget New NASA Been American Going Orbit Realisation Exploration Boldly Nowhere Phase

Research into manned spaceflight is shifting from low-Earth orbit to destinations much further away, like Mars and the asteroid belt. But society will have to invent many new technologies before it can plausibly send people to those distances. Andy Weir

People Will Invent Shifting Before Research Society Asteroid Distances Destinations Further Those Mars New Like New Technologies Send Orbit Manned Much Many Away Technologies Belt

The Fuse is a solar energy station in orbit 22,000 miles above the earth. But it's more than just a big solar panel array. The Fuse is also home to Midway City, a technically illegal settlement that grew out of a bunch of engineers who decided they'd rather make a new life in space than return home to earth. Antony Johnston

Life Home New Life Space Technically Solar Big Energy Panel Settlement Earth Fuse Station Out City Above Rather More New Also Make Return Return Home Array Bunch Than Orbit Just Grew Decided Midway Miles Engineers Illegal Who

The notion of getting the general public into low-Earth orbit I don't think is far-fetched at all. Brian Binnie

Think General General Public Getting Orbit Public Far-Fetched Notion

To allow public access to orbit, we would need breakthroughs that would lower the cost by a lot more than an order of magnitude and increase safety by a factor of 100 as compared to every launch system used since the first manned space flight. I think airborne launch will be a significant part of the safety solution. Burt Rutan

Safety Space Will First Every Think Increase System Significant Launch Would Solution Cost More Magnitude Factor Allow Part Since Access Lot Than Orbit Order Public Public Access Breakthroughs Manned Lower Used Flight Compared Need

I am excited to think that the development of commercial capabilities to send humans into low Earth orbit will likely result in so many more Earthlings being able to experience the transformative power of space flight. Buzz Aldrin

Experience Result Space Will Power Think Earth Able More Excited Development Likely Am Commercial Send Orbit Being Transformative Capabilities Low Flight Many Humans

I'm urging NASA to foster the development of what I call 'runway landers.' No, that's not the name of a high stakes gambler from Vegas. It's a type of spacecraft that flies to orbit like the retiring Shuttles but then glides to a landing like an airplane on a runway. Just like the Shuttles do. Buzz Aldrin

Space is not just going up and coming back down again. Space is getting into orbit and being there, living there, establishing a presence, a permanence. Buzz Aldrin

Space Down Living Back Permanence Coming Up Getting Going Orbit Just Being Establishing Again Being There Presence

The Huygens images were everything our images from orbit were not. Instead of hazy, sinuous features that we could only guess were streams and drainage channels, here was incontrovertible evidence that at some point in Titan's history - and perhaps even now - there were flowing liquid hydrocarbons on the surface. Carolyn Porco

History Drainage Channels Guess Our Everything Evidence Some Only Features Point Could Hazy Instead Perhaps Surface Were Liquid Orbit Even Even Now Now Streams Images Here Incontrovertible Flowing

There are physical bodies, physical worlds that astronauts could visit, that we haven't found yet. Especially, there's these close approaches of asteroids. They pass within geosynchronous orbit sometimes, and they pass within the Earth and the moon. Carrie Nugent

Sometimes Moon Worlds Approaches Earth Astronauts Visit Physical Could Within Pass Close Orbit Bodies Found

Changing the asteroid's velocity changes the time when the asteroid crosses Earth's orbit. After all, just because it crosses Earth's path doesn't mean there is necessarily going to be a collision. It has to cross Earth's path when the Earth is right there. Carrie Nugent

Time Path Changes Changing Asteroid Earth Cross Collision Crosses Velocity Because Going Orbit Just Just Because After Mean Right Necessarily

For a few years, skeins of yarn piled up in baskets around the house. There weren't enough humans in my mother's orbit to wear all the scarves and sweaters and hats she knitted. And then, as suddenly as she started, she lost interest, leaving needles still entwined in half-finished fragments. Christina Baker Kline

Mother Lost Few Enough Fragments Wear Hats Entwined House She Around Piled Yarn Still Leaving Were Years Up Orbit Interest Sweaters Then Suddenly Humans Started Needles

It seems to me, thinking of it, that there must be some universal plan which set in motion the orbiting of the electrons about the nucleus and the slower, more majestic orbit of the galaxies about one another to the very edge of space. Clifford D. Simak

In the 20th century, we had a century where at the beginning of the century, most of the world was agricultural and industry was very primitive. At the end of that century, we had men in orbit, we had been to the moon, we had people with cell phones and colour televisions and the Internet and amazing medical technology of all kinds. David Gerrold

Technology Phones People World Amazing Internet Moon Men Beginning Cell Phones Kinds Colour Had Primitive Most Industry Been End Very Cell Orbit Where To The Moon Century Agricultural Medical Medical Technology

Words can have no single fixed meaning. Like wayward electrons, they can spin away from their initial orbit and enter a wider magnetic field. No one owns them or has a proprietary right to dictate how they will be used. David Lehman

A life can get knocked into a new orbit by a car crash, a lottery win or just a bleary-eyed consultant giving bad news in a calm voice. David Mitchell

The ISS operates as the 'anchor customer' in low earth orbit to support new commercial space services, including delivery of cargo and, before long, crew transportation services. Ellen Ochoa

Space Long Before Crew Cargo Earth Anchor Delivery Support New Commercial Orbit Customer Low Transportation Including Services

On one of the SpaceX flights, we had a secret payload: a wheel of cheese. We flew to orbit and brought it back, so it was the world's first 'space cheese.' It was, in part, a tribute to Monty Python. Elon Musk
