For every winner, there's a loser. And that person didn't really need to lose. They just didn't understand the game plan.

At 10,000 feet, the 3 parachutes would come out, a little lower the pressure of the atmosphere outside was greater than inside, and we could smell the salt air and it was very encouraging to return to earth.

Everyone should take their hats off to Neil Armstrong. He is a humble guy who doesn't wave his own flag.

What comes after the moon? I think you can guess: Mars.

It's not easy to get human beings into orbit. So far only three nations have been able to do that, with all the resources that they put together. And I'm just a little skeptical that that's going to be done by the private sector without making use of what has been done by the government.

Unless we are able to commit to a permanent growing settlement [on Mars], then I don't think just going there with humans and coming back is worth doing. The expense of planning to come back is like the people who left Europe to come to America and then to turn around and go back to Europe, it really doesn't make any sense at all.

I wrote 'Reaching for the Moon' because I wanted to tell kids that all of us have a moon, a dream, that we can strive for. Even if you don't attain it, you can at least reach for it.

Mars has a bit of air pressure maybe we can build up that atmosphere to be a bit more accommodating to humans.

Timing has always been a key element in my life. I have been blessed to have been in the right place at the right time.

They didn’t tell me I was going into space until after they locked the shuttle doors and started counting down.

We need the next generation to be motivated and to push technological boundaries, to seek out new innovations.

We need to begin thinking about building permanence on the Red Planet, not just have voyagers do some experiments, plant a flag and claim success. Having them go there, repeat this, in my view, is dim-witted. Why not stay there?

To appropriately respond to an emergency requires a very clear mind, to cooly analyze what the observations are and how to fix it.

We can't start over and develop a Saturn 5-type vehicle from scratch.

You need propellants to accelerate toward Mars, then to decelerate at Mars, again to re-accelerate from Mars to Earth, and finally to decelerate back at Earth. Accordingly, the mass of these required propellants, in short, drives our need for innovative launch vehicles.

There is very little doubt, in my mind, that what the next monumental achievement of humanity will be the first landing by an Earthling, a human being, on the planet Mars.

Everyone who's been in space would, I'm sure, welcome the opportunity for a return to the exhilarating experiences there.
