I don't believe any pair of people had been more removed physically from the rest of the world than we were.

There's no doubt who was a leader in space after the Apollo Program. Nobody came close to us. And our education system, in science, technology, engineering and math, was at the top of the world. It's no longer there. We're descending rather rapidly.

Anything we can do in the near future that begins to stimulate the interest of people - seeing somebody down the street have an opportunity to go into space - buoys up the whole neighborhood.

As time goes by, I'm increasingly impressed by how very special and timely it was that we got the degree of national commitment needed to put people on the Moon. For the first time, this nation was united in trying to develop an interplanetary capability. We've been trying to repeat that situation ever since.

I remember it was hard to believe that I was taking a step onto the lunar surface.

This is the LM pilot. I'd like to take this opportunity to ask every person listening in, whoever and wherever they may be, to pause for a moment and contemplate the events of the past few hours and to give thanks in his or her own way.

Going to Mars would evolve humankind into a two-planet species.

Some things just can't be described. And stepping onto the moon was one of them.

The best way to study Mars is with two hands, eyes and ears of a geologist, first at a moon orbiting Mars... and then on the surface.

In space, you don't get that much noise. Noise doesn't propagate in a vacuum.

It's real easy to manufacture what you think the people want to hear. But that's not very honest.
