Science has not yet mastered prophecy. We predict too much for the next year and yet far too little for the next 10.
Neil Armstrong
Image
I guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks but for the ledger of our daily work.

Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand.

Gliders, sail planes, they're wonderful flying machines. It's the closest you can come to being a bird.

Space has not changed but technology has, in many cases, improved dramatically. A good example is digital technology where today's cell phones are far more powerful than the computers on the Apollo Command Module and Lunar Module that we used to navigate to the moon and operate all the spacecraft control systems.

Now and then I miss the excitement about being in the cockpit of an airplane and doing new things.

The [Moon] surface is fine and powdery. I can kick it up loosely with my toe. It does adhere in fine layers like powdered charcoal to the sole and sides of my boots. I only go in a small fraction of an inch, maybe an eighth of an inch, but I can see the footprints of my boots and the treads in the fine sandy particles.

Damn I really did it. I blew the first words on the moon, didn't I?

If you don't know who you are, a university is an expensive place to find out.

All in all, for someone who was immersed in, fascinated by, and dedicated to flight, I was disappointed by the wrinkle in history that had brought me along one generation late. I had missed all the great times and adventures in flight.
