The ‘clean energy’ challenge deserves a commitment akin to the Manhattan project or the Apollo moon landing.
I love being able to go on local flights when the weather is right. I’ve popped to the Isle of Wight, Cornwall and been mountain flying in Wales. When I got my licence I was over the moon, it was one of the greatest days of my life – it took two years to get!
Many of us in Congress have been calling on the Administration to articulate a bold mission for NASA. It seems that the President is answering that call. I wholeheartedly support his vision for going back to the moon, and from there to worlds beyond.
I’m really fascinated by the moon.
The Moon stabilizes Earth’s obliquity. Well, almost. The tilt actually varies between 22 and 24.5 degrees – and the variation is enough to induce such environmental inconveniences as the occasional ice age. Without the Moon, it might be much worse.
I think we’re going to the moon because it’s in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It’s by the nature of his deep inner soul… we’re required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream.
When I was working on ‘Vampires Suck,’ I must have watched ‘Twilight’ and ‘New Moon’ literally almost every day.
We could perform in space or be the first band to play moon, but we want to be the first ‘Star Wars’ band.
Even before ‘Moon,’ I did a short film called ‘Whistle,’ and it had a lot of the things that I thought I would need to be able to do on a feature film: I shot on location, there was special FX work, there was stunt work, we used squibs, I shot on 35 mm film.
My parents were over the moon when I had some success with Christmas songs because that was the time of the year that meant so much to them. They were able to see their loved ones, and it was great to hear their son’s voice on the radio while they visited.
It is time to declare that the goal of the United States in space is the settlement of the solar system, from low Earth orbit to the Moon and Mars.
The earth together with its surrounding waters must in fact have such a shape as its shadow reveals, for it eclipses the moon with the arc of a perfect circle.
My father has a great love of science, and he indoctrinated me into it early. I think I was 12 or so when we designed a moon base.
I think after orbiting for a while and looking at the surface, I think the natural tendency is to want to experience it, to go down there and touch it. I started thinking about the Apollo astronauts who orbited the moon and didn’t land – that must have been agonizing!
You moon the wrong person at an office party and suddenly you’re not ‘professional’ any more.
The moon and other celestial bodies should be free for exploration and use by all countries. No country should be permitted to advance a claim of sovereignty.
Tired of burning fossil fuel and polluting the planet? The moon is covered with helium 3, an isotope from the sun that is the perfect fuel for clean fusion reactors.
Clearly, some creative thinking is badly needed if humans are to have a future beyond Earth. Returning to the Moon may be worthy and attainable, but it fails to capture the public’s imagination. What does get people excited is the prospect of a mission to Mars.
I was over the moon after bowling Chris Lewis and I was a little nervous about the hat-trick. You know it is a dream come true for any player to perform in the finals of a world cup.
The best pop songs are the ones that show that person’s personality. It’s harder to do those singles because the stars, moon and sun have to align and the audience have to be ready, but it’s worth waiting for it.
I will venture to say that sending a probe to the center of the earth will be more difficult than putting a man on the moon or sending a spaceship to Mars.
I think if Keith Moon was here today and you asked him to recall most of his early life or most of his life, he wouldn’t be able to recall it.
Keith Moon was the funniest guy around. The stuff he did was insane. He was like somebody straight out of the movies.
Grief is a bad moon, a sleeper wave. It’s like having an inner combatant, a saboteur who, at the slightest change in the sunlight, or at the first notes of a jingle for a dog food commercial, will flick the memory switch, bringing tears to your eyes.
In 2001, Katie Couric told ‘Today Show’ audiences that 7 percent of Americans doubt the moon landing happened – that it was staged in the Nevada desert.
If China was like the moon, then arriving in Saudi Arabia was Mars. At least you can see the moon from Earth.
All in all, we Muslims have only two holidays, and they’re always getting moved around from season to season, from month to month, because we’re dependent on the moon and not the sun, and unlike the Jews, we haven’t created a leap year, so we have no Adar Bet.
The best way to study Mars is with two hands, eyes and ears of a geologist, first at a moon orbiting Mars… and then on the surface.
I’m cut from a different cloth. I would never moon someone. I was raised in a good family.
I’ve been divorced and I had to get back out there be single again and do some of that in the genuinely miserable state where you really do wonder what the hell is going on. And you feel like trying to have casual conversation with someone you don’t know on the surface of the moon or something.
I don’t think the space station is innovative. Going to the moon was innovative because we had no idea how to do it.
One of the things I’m proudest of is, on my record ‘That Was the Year that Was’ in 1965, I made a joke about spending $20 billion sending some clown to the moon. I was against the manned space program then, and I’m even more against it now, that whole waste of money.
If we can put a man on the moon, we can make pantyhose comfortable.
There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.
I think going into ‘New Moon,’ I knew the characters better. I knew the world better and I knew the actors who would be playing these roles. I had a sense of their rhythms and tones. ‘Twilight’ I was writing in a vacuum. We hadn’t cast it yet.
Everything has a natural explanation. The moon is not a god, but a great rock, and the sun a hot rock.
I’m over the moon to play an iconic character like Ted Hastings and for my career to be defined by this role – that’s a place very few actors get to.
I lost the ball in the moon.
It certainly is possible to construct a moon base in such a way that crews could stay for extended periods of time.
Being the composer of ‘Minecraft’ is basically like imagining the distance between earth and moon.
It is practically certain that sometime during 1958, either the Russians or we, and most likely both, are going to shoot a rocket to the moon.
In ‘Twilight,’ you’re setting up the world. You’re introducing the world, and I was also writing in a vacuum because I didn’t know who the actors were going to be. Now you’re going to ‘New Moon’ and ‘Eclipse,’ and I could write specifically to them in my mind. So it becomes a more comfortable world.
Being a Moon Child is about believing in integrity, love, and unity.
The thing that I guess I’ve never understood is why people persist that I carried a crown on a pillow to Reverend Moon. I never did. I took it to his wife.
When I was 12, I saw the Apollo moon landings, and I thought that was really fantastic and exciting and thought, ‘That’s what I want to do.’
To an observer situated on the moon or on one of the planets, the most noticeable feature on the surface of our globe would no doubt be the large areas covered by oceanic water. The sunlit face of the earth would appear to shine by the light diffused back into space from the land and water-covered areas.
I am a Puerto Rican. I could have been born on the moon, but I’m still Puerto Rican.
There are several sorts of religions, not only in different parts of the island, but even in every town; some worshipping the sun, others the moon or one of the planets.
There are some things that are real, that you can see, that you can observe, like the moon, and grass and things. But for ideas to become real, they have to be played on your senses.
I would still like to go to the moon before I die.
The doughy-faced woman has been forced to sit on the sidelines of culture for too long, and it’s now time for us to stand up with our big round faces like the moon and say we have things to say, too. We have a round-faced agenda we want to push.
You can be the moon and still be jealous of the stars.
I’ve got some news… I’m delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together. I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we’re over the moon.
When President Kennedy challenged Americans to go to the moon, the question wasn’t whether we’d get there, it was only when we’d get there.
I started taking medication to weaken my immune system because that is what was attacking my kidneys. The problem was when I went on different medication, I suffered side effects. And the side effects caused ‘moon face,’ where my face swelled up. It was a reaction.
Wine and cheese are ageless companions, like aspirin and aches, or June and moon, or good people and noble ventures.
From now on we live in a world where man has walked on the Moon. It’s not a miracle; we just decided to go.
