Earth Observation Satellites

Famous quotes containing the words earth, observation and/or satellites:

    I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion. I would rather ride on earth in an ox cart, with a free circulation, than go to heaven in the fancy car of an excursion train and breathe a malaria all the way.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    One man’s observation is another man’s closed book or flight of fancy.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    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, U.S. screenwriter, and Lewis Milestone. Peter Voroshevski (Howard Clinton?)
