Well, Frank, my thoughts are very similar. The vast loneliness up here at the moon is awe-inspiring, and it makes you realize what you have back there on earth. The earth from here is a grand oasis in the big vastness of space.

You need to be a person who makes things happen.

Be thankful for problems. If they were less difficult, someone with less ability might have your job.

I didnt go into the NASA program to pick up rocks or to go the moon or anything else. I went in there because I was a military officer, and that was the next notch in my profession.

The Moon is essentially gray - no color - looks like plaster of paris - soft of gray sand.

When I circled the moon and looked back at Earth, my outlook on life and my viewpoint of Earth changed... Earth is a spaceship, just like Apollo - and just like Apollo, the crew must learn to live and work together. We must learn to manage the resources of this world with new imagination.

For most of the time carrier aviation is more challenging than flying in a spacecraft

The Earth from here is a grand oasis in the big vastness of space.

Please be informed, there is a Santa Claus.
