Dirigibles Quotes : pic 000266987

Ships and sails proper for the heavenly air should be fashioned. Then there will also be people, who do not shrink from the dreary vastness of space.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 001120461

Dirigibles Quotes : pic 001155346
For the greater beauty of the instrument, the balls representing the planets are to be of considerable bigness; but so contrived, that they may be taken off at pleasure, and others, much smaller, and fitter for some purposes, put in their places.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 000404934
You can't tell what's aboard a container ship. We carried every kind of cargo, all of it on view: a police car, penicillin, Johnnie Walker Red, toilets, handguns, lumber, Ping-Pong balls, and IBM data cards.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 001316098
Alternate currents, especially of high frequencies, pass with astonishing freedom through even slightly rarefied gases. The upper strata of the air are rarefied. To reach a number of miles out into space requires the overcoming of difficulties of a merely mechanical nature.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 000464485
Underwater, we're drowning victims, struggling over and under each others' bodies. But above, we bob with the tide,undercurrents pulling us just far enough apart ,so that we're drifting parallel but not together.

three dot.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 000460884
Gravity may put the planets into motion, but without the divine Power, it could never put them into such a circulating motion as they have about the Sun; and therefore, for this as well as other reasons, I am compelled to ascribe the frame of this System to an intelligent Agent.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 000698029
The great weight of the ship may indeed prevent her from acquiring her greatest velocity; but when she has attained it, she will advance by her own intrinsic motion, without gaining any new degree of velocity, or lessening what she has acquired.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 000665068
I have got airplanes, zeppelins and apparatus.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 000507246
When we take a slight survey of the surface of our globe a thousand objects offer themselves which, though long known, yet still demand our curiosity.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 000345294
But like balloons, they were excessively buoyant, and if you weren't careful, they floated away.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 001474280
Globed from the atoms falling slow or swift I see the suns, I see the systems lift Their forms; and even the systems and the suns Shall go back slowly to the eternal drift.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 001060128
Something was moving quietly through the ionosphere many miles above the surface of the planet; several somethings in fact,

Ladies and Gentlemen ... we are floating in Space!

And as I looked, it became very clear that this five-and-ten-cent ship was in some way connected with human pretensions. This suffocating interior of a dime-store ship was my own personal self; these gimcrack mobiles of tin and plastic were my personal contributions to the universe.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 000028747
What's the name for the space between stars?"
"No such name."

I thought about it. "The soul asylum."
"That's another way of saying heaven, Agnes.

Dirigibles Quotes : pic 001341533
Astronomy is, not without reason, regarded, by mankind, as the sublimest of the natural sciences. Its objects so frequently visible, and therefore familiar, being always remote and inaccessible, do not lose their dignity.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 000932935
Every student of physics knows the axiom 'nature abhors a vacuum.' A little known corollary is that 'rowing coaches detest sending their crews in early.' Coaches will always find something to fill the end-of-practice vacuum.

I have detected disturbances in the wash.'
'The wash?'
'The space-time wash.'
'Are we talking about some sort of Vogon laundromat, or what are we talking about?'
'Eddies in the space-time continuum.'
'Ah ... is he. Is he.'
'What?'
'Er, who is Eddy, then, exactly?
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 000478352
I am, and ever will be, a white-socks, pocket-protector, nerdy engineer, born under the second law of thermodynamics, steeped in steam tables, in love with free-body diagrams, transformed by Laplace and propelled by compressible flow.

It can teach us
from afar
just how small
each other are.

Balloon: Thing to take meteroric observations and commit suicide with.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 000741943
Sometimes it was entirely right and proper to be awed. And recognising the physics in these formations, the hand of time and matter and the nuclear forces underpinning all things, did not lessen that feeling. What
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 001627489
All things keep on in everlasting motion,
Out of the infinite come the particles,
Speeding above, below, in endless dance.

Yes, "centrifugal." I will fight you.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 000774505

Dirigibles Quotes : pic 000607844
The next time you need a piece of apparently obscure information, try asking a science fiction writer. You might be surprised.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 000397386
Of all the intellectual hurdles which the human mind has confronted and has overcome in the last fifteen hundred years the one which seems to me to have been the most amazing in character and the most stupendous in the scope of its consequences is the one relating to the problem of motion.

And when at last they trench upon the shore,
Distinction ceases and they're view'd no more.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 001595275

Dirigibles Quotes : pic 000676663
During the period of the Saturn-Apollo missions we were pilgrims in space, ranging from home in search of knowledge. Now we will become shepherds tending our technological flocks, but like the shepherds of old, we will keep our eyes fixed on the heavens.

An inflated balloon
impressive to look at but hollow at the core and easily punctured.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 000906266
It swam crossways in the direction of the Nautilus with great speed, watching us with its enormous staring green eyes. Its eight arms, or rather feet, fixed to its head, that have given the name of cephalopod to these animals, were twice as long as its body, and were twisted like the furies' hair.

Dirigibles Quotes : pic 000215661
As a man-of-war that sails through the sea, so this earth that sails through the air. We mortals are all on board a fast-sailing,never-sinking world-frigate, of which God was the shipwright; and she is but one craft in a Milky-Way fleet, of which God is the Lord High Admiral.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 000140003

In the works of Duchamp, space begins to walk and take on form; it becomes a machine that spins arguments and philosophizes; it resists movement with delay and delay with irony.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 000143504
Each of a hundred ships, built by the same men at the same yard to the same plans, will have her own special characteristics--most of them bad, really, but after her crew becomes accustomed to them they are spoken of affectionately, particularly in retrospect.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 001416450
As three unwavering bands of light, we were simple and separate and beautiful. As
machines, we were flabby bags of ancient plumbing and wiring, of rusty hinges and
feeble springs.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 001191022
[Asteroids are] the vermin of the skies.
[Asteroids can block objects of interest on astronomical photographs.]
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 000318765
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
too full for sound or foam,
when that which drew from out
the boundless deep
turns again home.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 000784742
And here we are, in the middle, surrounded by a sea of stars.
A million suns.
Any of them could hold a planet. Any of them could hold a home.
But all of them are out of reach. [p.218]

They soared with ease, basking in electromagnetic rays from the star Sol, biding their time, grouping, preparing. The planet beneath them was almost perfectly oblivious of their presence, which was just how they wanted it for the moment.
Dirigibles Quotes : pic 000632537
Of distinction by birth or badge, [Americans] had no more idea than they had of the mode of existence in the moon or planets. They had heard only that there were such, and knew that they must be wrong.
