One of the jokes on our flight is that, if we have a normal entry day going, the plan is for me... to actually take the orbiter first and fly it for maybe 10 or 15 seconds and then hand it on over to Scooter.
Duane G. Carey

One of the things that we can say with confidence is that we will have much lighter, much stronger materials, and this will reduce the cost of air flight, and the cost of rockets.
Ralph Merkle

Scissors, screwdrivers and the like pose an unacceptable risk to flight crews as well passengers.
Dave Reichert

Seat assignment didn't matter if you're flying Dallas to Houston and you did it 38 times a day. People just got on, you didn't sit next to your wife, and it was a 45-minute flight. It didn't matter.
David Neeleman

So most astronauts are astronauts for a couple of years before they are assigned to a flight.
Sally Ride

Sometimes people here can get so focused on, Oh, I've got to get a flight, that it becomes the end all of everything. Then they go off and fly a couple of flights and they think, Okay, is that all there is in life? No, it's not. There's a whole big life out there.
Shannon Lucid

The amygdala in the emotional center sees and hears everything that occurs to us instantaneously and is the trigger point for the fight or flight response.
Daniel Goleman

The course of the flight up and down was exceedingly erratic, partly due to the irregularity of the air, and partly to lack of experience in handling this machine. The control of the front rudder was difficult on account of its being balanced too near the center.
Orville Wright

The factor most ignored in discussing interstellar flight is the kinetic energy that must be invested in the ship to make its tons of matter move at a substantial fraction of the speed of light.
Barney Oliver

The flight was extremely normal... for the first 36 seconds then after that got very interesting.
Pete Conrad

The heroes of Flight 93 won the first battle in the War on Terror, and they should never be forgotten.
Jim Ramstad

The moment my doctor told me, I went silent. My mum and dad were with me, then we all went to pieces. I was saying, No, I've got my flight to Sydney in two hours. I'm getting on a plane.
Kylie Minogue

The nation can no longer afford to continue policies that hasten the flight of persons to the distant suburbs.
Jane Byrne

The only hope I can see for the future depends on a wiser and braver use of the reason, not a panic flight from it.
F. L. Lucas

The perfect gadget would somehow allow me to fly. Isn't that what everybody wants? It would also cook a damn good microwave pizza. So while in flight you had something to eat - an in-flight meal. Where would I go? Well, nowadays, it would probably just take me to work a lot quicker.
John Krasinski

The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.
Albert Einstein

The rocket had worked perfectly, and all I had to do was survive the reentry forces. You do it all, in a flight like that, in a rather short period of time, just 16 minutes as a matter of fact.
Alan Shepard

The sparrow that is twittering on the edge of my balcony is calling up to me this moment a world of memories that reach over half my lifetime, and a world of hope that stretches farther than any flight of sparrows.
Donald G. Mitchell

The talk of winning our share is not the easy one of disengagement and flight, but the hard one of work, of short as well as long jumps, of disappointments, and of sweet success.
Roy Wilkins

The ultimate judge of your swing is the flight of the ball.
Ben Hogan
