Famous quotes containing the words missiles, tested and/or launched:

    “At the rate science proceeds, rockets and missiles will one day seem like buffalo—slow, endangered grazers in the black pasture of outer space.”
    —Bernard Cooper (b. 1936)

    “The transformation of the impossible into reality is always the mark of a demonic will. The only way to recognize a military genius is by the fact that, during the war, he will mock the rules of warfare and will employ creative improvisation instead of tested methods and he will do so at the right moment.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    “It grazes the horizons, launched above

    Mortality—ascending emerald-bright,
    A fountain at salute, a crown in view—”
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)
