NASA Quotes

My dad worked at NASA his whole career; he's a research scientist.

Margot Lee Shetterly

Research Career NASA Whole He His

I thought that NASA didn't take biologists and so nothing would come of it. But I knew I would regret it if I did not apply.

Kathleen Rubins

Regret Thought NASA Nothing Take

NASA has hit a comet with an impactor, during the Deep Impact mission. The goal of that mission was to study the surface by making a crater and stirring up the surface material so it could be studied.

Deep Impact Mission Goal NASA Study

I did not come to NASA to make history.

History NASA Come Make Did

Within NASA, the shuttle is perhaps the least-groundbreaking project. Recall that Apollo was about creating brand-new technologies that did something unprecedented - putting men on the moon. The shuttle is, by comparison, a relic designed to make going into orbit routine.

Nathan Myhrvold

Men Moon Routine Creating NASA

I am fascinated by Omega's history. Particularly the First World War stuff, when they made watches for the flying corps, and the NASA side of it.

History I Am War World Flying NASA

How fantastic that the American ingenuity of NASA scientists got us to Mars. It makes me proud to be an American. I can't get enough of these images from when the probe touched down. These scientists are American heroes.

Jennifer Granholm

Asteroid detection, tracking, and defense of our planet is something that NASA, its interagency partners, and the global community take very seriously.

John M. Grunsfeld

Community NASA Seriously Planet Take

Trillions of dollars in out-of-control entitlement spending cannot be remedied by cuts in NASA, or even in the entire discretionary budget, defense included. Rather, the financial bleeding needs to be staunched where the hole is and nowhere else.

Financial Budget NASA Entitlement

NASA was going to pick a public school teacher to go into space, observe and make a journal about the space flight, and I am a teacher who always dreamed of going up into space.

Christa McAuliffe

You think NASA is going to be cutting edge, but they've got so many buildings that are just left over from the '60s. It's old.

Allison Schroeder

Think You Buildings Edge NASA Over

This plucky NASA telescope is able to find planets en masse. If you compare planet hunting to prospecting for gold, then Kepler is equivalent to trading in your trusty pan for a diesel-powered sluice box.

Gold You Find NASA Hunting Box

At Indy, we are the NASA of the production-car world, and that's clearly why manufacturers are involved - it's such a good testbed.

Good World NASA Why Clearly Indy

My one concern is that when money gets tight, it's easy to cut R&D funding that isn't tied to a specific project - look at what's happened to NASA's aviation research.

Money Research Easy Look NASA Cut

Cutting NASA education funds would most severely affect students from low- to middle-income families and students from non-Ivy League-level schools.

Emily Calandrelli

Education NASA Students Affect Low

NASA, and all the other spacefaring nations of the world, have agreed to a set of 'planetary-protection' principles, aimed at preventing the accidental contamination of another habitable world with organisms from Earth.

David Grinspoon

World Earth NASA Principles Set

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.

Airplane Name Vegas NASA Development

There was a time when Pluto - which NASA's New Horizons spacecraft at last explored in 2015, a mission I led - was considered the last planet. We now know there are thousands of other - possibly inhabited - planets.

Time Mission NASA New Know Now

NASA didn't give a crap what gender you were or what race you were. If you could do the math, you were valuable.

Gender You NASA Race Give Valuable

NASA should not be developing its own proprietary version of capabilities it could purchase commercially at much lower cost, especially when we know the agency's bureaucratic tendencies will be to view the commercial versions as competitors to kill.

View NASA Know Will Cost Own

My dad worked with Mary Jackson very closely at one point. I knew Katherine Johnson as well. They were all part of this group of black engineers and scientists within this larger NASA community.

Margot Lee Shetterly

Community Black Engineers NASA Group

When I started working at NASA and understanding what the capabilities really were of the space station and the space program, one of the biggest draws for me was the ability to do experiments in space. We can do a number of experiments where gravity is actually a variable.

Kathleen Rubins

Space Me Understanding NASA Gravity

Cassini was an international undertaking, led by NASA and the European Space Agency and designed to be, in every dimension, a dramatic advance over Voyager. At the size of a school bus, it was bigger than Voyager and outfitted with the most sophisticated scientific instruments ever carried into the outer solar system.

School Space NASA Solar Over Size

Even though NASA tries to simulate launch, and we practice in simulators, it's not the same - it's not even close to the same.

Practice NASA Same Launch Even
