The daily calendar seemed, to me, like a kind of cartoon black hole, and you didn't have to be a rocket scientist to know that that couldn't be sustained indefinitely. That's why I pulled the plug on that one after the '02 edition. Kind of a preemptive strike. Gary Larson

Helen Sharman

Freedom Too Much First Stage Too Relatively Carrying More Small Simply Concept Rocket Optimism Just Experienced Heavy Spacecraft Realised Might Much Act Designer Shuttle

Sometimes a malfunctioning test setup actually gives the tested system a chance to show what it can do in an unrehearsed emergency. During a test of an Apollo escape system in the 1960s, the escape system successfully got the capsule clear of a malfunctioning test rocket. Henry Spencer

Sometimes Setup System Emergency Gives Clear Got Test Tested Rocket Escape Apollo Successfully Show Actually Chance

If there is a small rocket on top of a big one, and if the big one is jettisoned and the small one is ignited, then their speeds are added. Hermann Oberth

My father used to take me to the movies on Saturdays. In 1940, when I was four years old, we encountered 'Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe.' I loved it. Especially the rocket ship, which I later realized had no airlock and no washroom. But they managed to get to Mongo with it. Jack McDevitt
