We do not ask for what useful purpose the birds do sing, for song is their pleasure since they were created for singing.

Mysterium Cosmographicum, 1597.

Mysterium Cosmographicum

Ships and sails proper for the heavenly air should be fashioned. Then there will also be people, who do not shrink from the dreary vastness of space.

Johannes Kepler

Letter to Galileo Galilei, 1609.

As soon as somebody demonstrates the art of flying, settlers from our species of man will not be lacking [on the Moon and Jupiter] … Who would have believed that a huge ocean could be crossed more peacefully and safely than the the narrow expanse of the Adriatic, the Baltic Sea or the English Channel? Provide ship or sails adapted to the heavenly breezes, and there will be some who will not fear even that void [of space]… . So, for those who will come shortly to attempt this journey, let us establish the astronomy: Galileo, you of Jupiter, I of the Moon.

Johannes Kepler

Letter to Galileo Galilei, Conversation with the Messenger from the Stars, 19 April 1610. .
