“In a moment, we hope to see the pole vault over the satellite.” ~ David Coleman
- “On Friday the 13th, April 2029, an asteroid large enough to fill the Rose Bowl as though it were an egg cup will fly so close to Earth that it will dip below the altitude of our communication satellites. We did not name this asteroid Bambi. Instead, we named it Apophis, after the Egyptian god of darkness and death.” ~ Neil deGrasse Tyson
- “I can remember in early elementary school when the Russians launched the first satellite. There was still so much unknown about space. People thought Mars was probably populated.” ~ Christa McAuliffe

- “I used to do volunteer work in poor areas of Cairo, and people would gather their money together to get a satellite dish. You’d see them huddling around and for the first time seeing issues being debated on TV that had never been talked about before. And that is the biggest promoter of democracy you could possibly have.” ~ Jehane Noujaim
- “During the past few decades, modern technology, with radio, TV, air travel, and satellites, has woven a network of communication which puts each part of the world in to almost instant contact with all the other parts.” ~ David Bohm
-
“Exponential growth in access to the Internet, satellite television and radio, cell phones, and P.D.A.’s means that breaking news now reaches virtually every corner of the globe.” ~ Dee Dee Myers
- “There are three ways in which a man becomes a slave. He may be born into slavery, or forced into it, or he can deliberately accept his servitude. All three forms flourish in the modern world. Men are born and forced into slavery in Russia and her satellites states. Men in the free world invite slavery when they ask the government to provide complete security, when they surrender their freedom to the “Welfare State.”” ~ Fulton J. Sheen
- “Then during the mission itself, I used the space shuttle’s robot arm to release a satellite into orbit.” ~ Sally Ride
- “Obviously with the onset of cable and satellite, there are more opportunities for programming and original programming, so it creates more opportunities for actors and producers and directors and everything.” ~ Anthony Michael Hall
-
“We should develop anti-satellite weapons because we could not have prevailed without them in ‘Red Storm Rising’.” ~ Dan Quayle
- “Global warming is real. It is happening today. It is being charted by our satellites. It is being charted by our scientists. It is being charted by those of us in this body, and I think the real key is if we are ready to admit that fact and take the action to make the necessary conversion.” ~ Dianne Feinstein
- “I’m the most recognized and loved man that ever lived cuz there weren’t no satellites when Jesus and Moses were around, so people far away in the villages didn’t know about them.” ~ Muhammad Ali
- “One hardly knows where, in the history of science, to look for an important movement that had its effective start in so pure and simple an accident as that which led to the building of the great Washington telescope, and went on to the discovery of the satellites of Mars.” ~ Simon Newcomb
-
“I am proud to find, from two astronomical observations, that Chapel Hill lies right in the orbit of Jupiter and his satellites, and that the period of his revolution is about twelve years.” ~ William Hooper
- “Do you know what ‘Sputnik’ means in Russian? ‘Travelling companion’. I looked it up in a dictionary not long ago. Kind of a strange coincidence if you think about it. I wonder why the Russians gave their satellite that strange name. It’s just a poor little lump of metal, spinning around the Earth.” ~ Haruki Murakami
- “Dear Iranian nation, your children have placed the first indigenous satellite into orbit.” ~ Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
- “The further conquest of space will make it possible, for example, to create systems of satellites making daily revolutions around our planet at an altitude of some 40,000 kilometers, and to assure universal communications and the relaying of radio and television transmissions. Such an arrangement might prove more useful, economically, than the construction of radio relay systems over the whole surface of the earth. The great accuracy of movement of these satellites will provide a reliable basis for solving navigational problems” ~ Sergei Korolev , Space satellite quotes
-
“I love traditional instruments, though of course they are anachronisms. Satellites run around our planet, but we still play bassoons. It’s ridiculous!” ~ Witold Lutosławski
- “Solar flares affect our everyday lives in all kinds of mundane ways. They affect satellites, they affect our emotions, and so on, but they also affect the nature of the light that is coming to us, which is kind of the way that the DNA unfolds. And on those levels hardly anyone really understands all of this, and I don’t either. I just know that what is going on in the Sun is very important.” ~ Drunvalo Melchizedek
- “I, as a Muslim woman living in 1993, I want to have two things – the mosque and the satellite, both at the same time. And no one can mutilate me by telling me I cannot have the mosque or the Koran.” ~ Fatema Mernissi

Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder
Satellite strung from the moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping Tom for the mother station” ~ Dave Matthews -
“They who have light in themselves will not revolve as satellites.” ~ Seneca the Younger
- “As a nation we have, over the past seven years, been rebuilding our intelligence with powerful capabilities that many thought we would no longer need after the Cold War. We have been rebuilding our clandestine service, our satellite and other technical collection, our analytical depth and expertise.” ~ George Tenet
- “With enough money and international coordination, we can push incoming asteroids out of Earth’s path. We might even be able to bring back extinct animals in the lab. The problem really isn’t scientific – it’s cultural. We aren’t yet able to coordinate ourselves as a global civilization to do something simple like bring food to a famine-stricken region. We can actually use current satellite technologies to predict where famine will strike next, but we can’t get food there – usually for political reasons.” ~ Annalee Newitz
- “On the earth, satellite of a star speeding through space, living things had arisen under the influence of conditions which were part of the planet’s history; and as there had been a beginning of life upon it, so, under the influence of other conditions, there would be an end: man, no more significant than other forms of life, had come not as the climax of creation but as a physical reaction to the environment.” ~ W. Somerset Maugham
-
“My bucket list is pretty much checked off. But oh, we should play in space! Let’s do that. We’ll play in space, up on a satellite somewhere.” ~ Patrick Stump
- “Presumptuous Man! the reason wouldst thou find,Why form’d so weak, so little, and so blind?First, if thou canst, the harder reason guess,Why form’d no weaker, blinder, and no less!Ask of thy mother earth, why oaks are madeTaller or stronger than the weeds they shade?Or ask of yonder argent fields above,Why Jove’s Satellites are less than Jove?” ~ Alexander Pope
- “George W. said he doesn’t watch television. And, of course, well – the reason for that is the Clintons stole the White House satellite system.” ~ David Letterman
- “When the orbits of these two satellites of ours happened to cross paths, we could be together. Maybe even open our hearts to each other. But that was only for the briefest moment. In the next instant we’d be in absolute solitude. Until we burned up and became nothing.” ~ Haruki Murakami
-
“Russia can offer state-of-the-art technology, .. For example, we can help other countries launch space devices such as satellites.” ~ Vladimir Putin
- “I don’t think there’s anything on this planet that more trumpets life that the sunflower. For me that’s because of the reason behind its name. Not because it looks like the sun but because it follows the sun. During the course of the day, the head tracks the journey of the sun across the sky. A satellite dish for sunshine. Wherever light is, no matter how weak, these flowers will find it. And that’s such an admirable thing. And such a lesson in life.” ~ Helen Mirren
- “One orbit, with a radius of 42,000 kilometers, has a period of exactly 24 hours. A body in such an orbit, if its plane coincided with that of the Earth’s equator, would revolve with the Earth and would thus be stationary above the same spot on the planet. It would remain fixed in the sky of a whole hemisphere … [to] provide coverage to half the globe, and for a world service three would be required, though more could be readily utilized. (1945) [Predidicting geosynchronous communication satellites]” ~ Arthur C. Clarke
- “If the man who observes the myriad stars, and considers that they and their innumerable satellites move in their serene dignity through the heavens, each swinging clear of the other’s orbit-if, I say, the man who sees this cannot realise the Creator’s attributes without the help of the book of Job, then his view of things is beyond my understanding.” ~ Arthur Conan Doyle
-
“The best piece of advice Ive ever been given was, Be in the business youre in. Dont just be a satellite around it and expect it to come to you. Be in the business youre in.” ~ Ray Stevenson
- “The simple fact is that, since the beginning of this century, the average global temperature has flatlined; indeed, over the past 18 months it has fallen back, and according to the satellite measurements of temperature, it is now basically back at the level it was in 1979, when such measurements started to be taken.” ~ Peter Lilley
- “Advance warning of Katrina’s path was wrested from mute Nature by meteorological calculations and satellite imagery. God told no one of His plans. Had the residents of New Orleans been content to rely on the beneficence of God, they wouldn’t have known that a killer hurricane was bearing down upon them until they felt the first gusts of wind on their faces. And yet, as will come as no surprise to you, a poll conducted by The Washington Post found that 80 percent of Katrina’s survivors claim that the event only strengthened their faith in God.” ~ Sam Harris
- “Throughout history, humankind has been resistant to change and to the acceptance of new ideas… When Galileo discovered the moons of Jupiter, the astronomers of that time refused to accept or even to look at these satellites because the existence of these moons conflicted with their accepted beliefs. So it is now with psychiatrists and other therapists, who refuse to examine and evaluate the considerable evidence being gathered about survival after bodily death and about past life memories. Their eyes are tightly shut.” ~ Brian Weiss
-
“Let us build a SAARC satellite which we can dedicate to our neighbourhood, as a gift from India.” ~ Narendra Modi
- “We’re enlarging in every single area of the ministry at In Touch. We’re on radio and television. We’re in over 110 million homes in America plus radio on satellites. We just acquired the NAMB FamilyNet television network, and with that expanding possibilities of the gospel.” ~ Charles Stanley
- “Common sense is merely unaided intuition, and unaided intuition is reasoning performed in the absense of instruments and the tested knowledge of science. Common sense tells us that massive satellites cannot hang suspended 36,000 kilometers above the one point on the earth’s surface, but they do.” ~ E. O. Wilson
- “Keep in mind our Constitution predates the Industrial Revolution. Our founders did not know about electricity, the train, telephones, radio, television, automobiles, airplanes, rockets, nuclear weapons, satellites, or space exploration. There’s a lot they didn’t know about. It would be interesting to see what kind of document they’d draft today. Just keeping it frozen in time won’t hack it.” ~ Ross Perot
-
“I have a car in Nebraska. When I bought it, they gave me a satellite radio, and there’s an ‘indie-rock’ station. It’s just nothing I’m interested in.” ~ Conor Oberst
- “If you’re in the U.S. and talk to someone on the phone who’s in Iraq, you’ll experience sound delay. It isn’t long, but the sound has to go to a satellite and back, it’s used for everything. I’m proud to have that be something I invented.” ~ Les Paul
- “Sometimes it’s hard for me to tell the difference between independent filmmaking and studio filmmaking because all the studios have these little independent satellites. It’s interesting.” ~ Kerry Washington
- “With regard to North Korea, between myself and President Obama earlier, with regard to the so-called launch of satellite, the missile launch, we shared the view that it undermines the efforts of the various countries concerned to achieve the resolution through dialogue.” ~ Yoshihiko Noda
-
“In the digital age we’re in now, with satellite radio and Pandora and stuff like that, it’s not about, “I listen to this kind of music.” It’s about, “I listen to good music and bad music.”” ~ Eric Church
- “Anything from making a mistake on an experiment that would ruin some scientist on earth’s experiment – career, potentially – to doing something wrong with the satellite that a country was depending on for its communications, to making some mistake that could actually cost you and the crew either a mission or your lives. So there is a lot of pressure that’s put on every astronaut to just make sure that he or she understands exactly what to do, exactly when to do it, and is trained and prepared to carry it out.” ~ Sally Ride
- “The miniaturization of electronics, which ultimately was driven by the marketplace, was started by NASA, because it costs money to get something into orbit. So you want to trim your electronics, miniaturize your electronics, miniaturize your satellites.” ~ Neil deGrasse Tyson
-
“To the Japanese, Portugal and Russia are neutral enemies, England and America are belligerent enemies, and Germany and her satellites are friendly enemies. They draw very fine distinctions.” ~ Jerome Cady
- “I guess probably in my time in politics, it continued to be affirmed to me that the African-American community, despite being subscription television’s most valuable customers, they are very underserved by cable and satellite television programming options.” ~ J. C. Watts
- “Public radio is the last oasis of free and independent music. For satellite radio channels, you have to subscribe; commercial stations are as corporate as basic cable.” ~ Nellie McKay
