More quotes by Sergei Korolev

We are all going to be shot, and there will be no obituary.

Anyone can build complicated. Our actions are determined by simplicity.

Today the dreams of the best sons of mankind have come true. The assault on space has begun.

The time will come when a spacecraft carrying human beings will leave the earth and set out on a voyage to distant planets to remote worlds. Today this may seem only an enticing fantasy, but such in fact is not the case. The launching of the first two Soviet Sputniks has already thrown a sturdy bridge from the earth into space, and the way to the stars is open.
