A Quote by Henry Spencer

Spaceflight, especially in the Mercury spacecraft, clearly wasn't going to be much like flying an airplane.

It's much like playing jazz, flying. It's multitasking in real time. You have a number of instruments that alone won't tell you exactly what the airplane is doing but together give you a picture of everything that's going on.

Aaron Diehl

Coaching is like flying an airplane, there is going to be a lot of turbulence, but your job is to land the plane safely.

Chuck Daly

If you take one rivet out of an airplane, it will be all right, it'll keep flying. You take another rivet out of the airplane and it still flies. So what the heck, let's take more rivets out of the airplane, and sooner or later, the airplane drops from the sky.

Ted Danson

I was interested in flying beginning at age 7, when a close family friend took me in his little airplane. And I remember looking at the wheel of the airplane as we rolled down the runway, because I wanted to remember the exact moment that I first went flying... the other thing growing up is that I was always interested in science.

David M. Brown

I love flying so much. I even like airplane food. No one bothers you and your phone never goes off and you can't have emails go through. It's undisturbed.

Margot Robbie

I was a pilot flying an airplane and it just so happened that, where I was flying, made what I was doing spying.

Francis Gary Powers

The flying? I'm not worried about it. I'm safe up there. I feel very comfortable with my abilities flying an airplane.

Cory Lidle

Flying a good airplane doesn't require near as much attention as a motor car.

Charles Lindbergh

A hybrid human-robot mission to investigate an asteroid affords a realistic opportunity to demonstrate new technological capabilities for future deep-space travel and to test spacecraft for long-duration spaceflight.

Buzz Aldrin

I don't do any exercises when flying but use compression socks and spend as much time as possible lying down. I try not to eat much - I'm not a fan of airplane food; everything is just so weird.

Petra Kvitova

I'm urging NASA to foster the development of what I call 'runway landers.' No, that's not the name of a high stakes gambler from Vegas. It's a type of spacecraft that flies to orbit like the retiring Shuttles but then glides to a landing like an airplane on a runway. Just like the Shuttles do.

Buzz Aldrin

I love flying so much. I even airplane food. No one bothers you and your phone never goes off and you can't have emails go through. It's undisturbed.

Margot Robbie

I don't think we're going to build a 50-person spacecraft or a 100-person spacecraft.

Buzz Aldrin

I would not say that female cosmonauts are not welcomed in the Russian space program. I must say, however, that all spaceflight hardware, including spacesuits and spacecraft comfort assuring systems, were designed mostly by men and for men.

Valentina Tereshkova

For most of the time carrier aviation is more challenging than flying in a spacecraft

Jim Lovell

I guess ... I'm going to get that ice cream sundae they give you on the airplane. I usually pass on that, but I think I'm actually going to get extra whipped cream and maybe even the chocolate syrup. I'm really winging it here. I'm going to be flying. It's really a little too early to start drinking.
