Orbiting Quotes : pic 000531728
I experimented with all possible maneuvers-loops, somersaults and barrel rolls. I stood upside down on one finger and burst out laughing, a shrill, distorted laugh. Nothing I did altered the automatic rhythm of the air. Delivered from gravity and buoyancy, I flew around in space.
Orbiting 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.

Orbiting Quotes : pic 001401586
If you look from the side at a planet swinging around in its orbit, split the sun with a mirror and imagine a string, it all looks like a yo-yo. The point furthest from the sun is called aphelion. The point furthest from the yo-yo hand is called, by analogy, apocheir.
Orbiting Quotes : pic 000032644

Orbiting Quotes : pic 000679755

Orbiting Quotes : pic 001115551
Are we all just satellites?
Orbiting Quotes : pic 001031629

Orbiting Quotes : pic 000695473
It seems like such a long time ago when I thought the world of him. He was some exotic planet and I was his favorite satellite. But he's no planet, just the final fading light of an already dead star.

Orbiting Quotes : pic 001774915
starships were meant to fly
Orbiting 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.
Orbiting Quotes : pic 001742462
Apropos of the observatory,
Orbiting Quotes : pic 000896743

Orbiting Quotes : pic 000361198
The moon drew me towards it the same way it dragged the heavy oceans. I loved its fragility. Its delicate luminosity. The way it shone its light tenderly and modestly. I longed to touch it, to be an astronaut held in the embrace of its gentle gravity.
Orbiting Quotes : pic 000541036
The planet's spinning a thousand miles an hour around this gigantic nuclear explosion while these people roll these machines with rubber tires over this hard surface that we've laid down over the planet so that we can easily move ourselves back and forth.
Orbiting Quotes : pic 001684285
Six years of denying that he's the orbit of my world.
Orbiting Quotes : pic 000108915
I live my life in growing orbits which move out over this wondrous world, I am circling around God, around ancient towers and i have been circling for a thousand years. And I still dont know if I am an eagle or a storm or a great song.
Orbiting Quotes : pic 001819306
I had rather be Mercury, the smallest among seven [planets], revolving round the sun, than the first among five [moons] revolving round Saturn.
Orbiting Quotes : pic 001366564
Every star has its own orbit; and between it and its nearest neighbor there is not only a powerful attraction but an infinite distance. When the attraction becomes stronger than the distance the two do not embrace: they crash together in ruin.
Orbiting Quotes : pic 000858773
The moon is the first milestone on the road to the stars.
Orbiting Quotes : pic 000612942
they say we're losing centimetres
every year; as if we were
a beach that's losing
ground with every salt advance

the night is overcast
but why not try, at least,
to touch the things our orbits
cannot hold, while there's time
while we can.
