Orbit Quotes

The first two missions have some test objectives, some new capabilities that we’re going to try to develop on orbit to possibly be used on later flights Picture Quote #1

The digital world has been in a separate orbit from our medical cocoon, and it’s time the boundaries be taken down Picture Quote #1

Trips to Mars, the Moon, even orbit, will require that we provide astrotourists with as many comforts from home as possible, including paying each other Picture Quote #1

When we’re on the space station, we orbit the Earth 16 times per day, which means we’re constantly moving to and away from the sun. From light to shadow, the temperature swings by 300 degrees. Of course we’re protected by the gear we wear, but you can definitely feel this temperature change Picture Quote #1

Go ahead, throw this book away. Spit on me. Revile me. I dare you. Cast me out of your intellectual orbit. Throw me out of your backpack. Pitch me in the airport trash bin. Leave me on a bench in Central Park!What do I care?No. I don’t want you to do all that. Don’t do that.DON’T DO IT! Picture Quote #1

Then if your movie clicks with real audiences, you’ll be sucked into some sort of Hollywood orbit. It’s a devil of a place where the only religion that really counts is box office Picture Quote #1

The opportunity to orbit the Earth, witnessing multiple sunrises and sunsets every day, looking back to our small blue life-sustaining jewel from a distance, gives me the greatest sense of anticipation Picture Quote #1

Fortunately, most things around the supermassive black hole are just going to go around it. They’re going to orbit it. They don’t actually get sucked in Picture Quote #1

People like Aphex Twin, Jason Pierce, Jarvis Cocker and William Orbit are actively showing their interest in a wider field of music. Jarvis and I met on a benefit for an extraordinary man called LaMonte Young, the father of minimalism, who worked with John Cale and shared a loft with Yoko Ono Picture Quote #1

We should be wrong to demand that a critic must stay on the point all the time; it is enough if he remains in orbit around it Picture Quote #1

There was a time when she had indulged in the hypothetical for hours a day, plotting the map that had led her here. But no life is a line, and hers was an uneven orbit around a dark star, a moth circling a dead bulb, searching for the light it once held Picture Quote #1

I have a theory that kitchens, once they reach a certain level of complexity, attract new gadgets into their orbit, like planets. Only this can account for the fact that I own two melon ballers Picture Quote #1

She had been a solitary child, and then solitary as a woman, drawn into an orbit of her own that took her away from others, even those who would be her friends Picture Quote #1

As they embrace, she kisses him full on the mouth. And suddenly sticks her tongue right in. She has done this before, often. It’s one of those drunken long shots which just might, at least theoretically, once in ten thousand tries, throw a relationship right out of its orbit and send it whizzing off on another. Do women ever stop trying? No. But, because they never stop, they learn to be good losers Picture Quote #1

Why must women stay quietly? Why must we be little moons, each of us stuck in our little orbit, revolving around a planet that is some man? Why can’t we be other planets? Why must we be moons? Picture Quote #1

The world, the human world, is bound together not by protons and electrons, but by stories. Nothing has meaning in itself: all the objects in the world would be shards of bare mute blankness, spinning wildly out of orbit, if we didn’t bind them together with stories Picture Quote #1

There’s one tiny little gap in the universe left, just about to close. And it takes a lot of power to send this projection. I’m in orbit around a supernova. I’m burning up a sun just to say goodbye Picture Quote #1

For the last several years and culminating in six months in orbit next year, I’ve been training for my third space flight. This one is almost in a category completely different than the previous two, specifically to live in on the space station for six months, to command a space ship and to fly a new rocket ship Picture Quote #1

When I play my best golf, I feel as if I’m in a fog, standing back watching the earth in orbit with a golf club in my hands Picture Quote #1

It followed us during half of our orbit. We observed it on the light side, and when we entered the shadow side, it disappeared completely. It was an engineered structure, made from some type of metal, approximately 40 meters long with inner hulls. The object was narrow here and wider here, and inside there were openings. Some places had projections like small wings. The object stayed very close to us. We photographed it, and our photos showed it to be 23 to 28 meters away Picture Quote #1

I always try to be alert to the potential for repetition, for a decaying orbit with regard to my use of technique, etc Picture Quote #1

Then during the mission itself, I used the space shuttle’s robot arm to release a satellite into orbit Picture Quote #1

You’re going very fast when you’re on orbit, going around the world once every hour and a half Picture Quote #1

We were only on orbit a little over two days, so we had no adverse effects from being weightless Picture Quote #1

The orbit of human vision has widened and art has annexed fresh territories that were formerly denied to it Picture Quote #1

I had better never see a book than to be warped by it's attraction clean out of my own orbit, and made a satellite instead of a system. The one thing in the world, of value, is the active soul Picture Quote #1

See what the world looks like from orbit. Well, in that way, at least, there was profit to be had. Nobody could look down at the planet, green and blue, with no borders in evidence and no sign of human habitation, and not get his perspective forever altered Picture Quote #1

When one has weighed the sun in the balance, and measured the steps of the moon, and mapped out the seven heavens, there still remains oneself. Who can calculate the orbit of his own soul? Picture Quote #1

And if at times you renounce experience and mind’s heavy logic, it seems that the world has rushed along on its orbit, leaving you alone flying above a forgotten cloud bank, somewhere in the solitude of interstellar space Picture Quote #1

The well-instructed moon flies not from her orbit to seize on the glories of her partner Picture Quote #1
