More Satellite Quotes

The Russians and Americans launched approximately 2,400 of the total, Japan and China 100 each, followed by a host of countries with far fewer. Below them are the space stations, where for the first time people live and work semi-permanently outside the confines of the earth’s gravity. — Tim Marshall

What we have in mind for that agency, was an entity that would handle all satellite and space research and development projects but also have a function that extends beyond the immediate foreseeable weapons systems of the current or near future. An agency that could visualize the nation’s needs before those needs yet existed, he said. An agency that could research and develop the vast weapons systems of the future. — Annie Jacobsen

The moon is a satellite that was constructed. It was built and anchored outside Earth's atmosphere as a mediating and monitoring device, a supercomputer or eye in the sky.
