“The study of an idea is, of necessity, the story of many things.” — Willy Ley Quote

“The study of an idea is, of necessity, the story of many things.”

“It is practically certain that sometime during 1958, either the Russians or we, and most likely both, are going to shoot a rocket to the moon.”

“The dark areas, the 'mare' plains of the moon, are so incredibly smooth that the English astronomer Thomas Gold has suggested that they might really be depressions filled to the brim with dust. A rocket hit would show whether they are that or not.”

“Necessity has no law.”

“I am one of those for whom superfluity is a necessity.”

“Eating is a necessity but a pleasure as well.”
