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

There are two of them up here.

History will remember the twentieth century for two technological developments: atomic energy and space flight.

Yeah, I wasn't chosen to be first. I was just chosen to command that flight. Circumstance put me in that particular role. That wasn't planned by anyone.

Pilots take no special joy in walking: pilots like flying.

I think if there was anything I learned from our skipper was that it's not how you look it's how you perform.

Houston, that may have seemed like a very long final phase. The autotargeting was taking us right into a ... crater, with a large number of big boulders and rocks ... and it required ... flying manually over the rock field to find a reasonably good area.

There are people I'll always love to listen to, and I'm always ending up discovering new songs by them, which is crazy. Like Stevie Wonder.

The view of the moon that we've been having recently is really spectacular. It fills about three-quarters of the hatch window, and of course we can see the entire circumference even though part of it is in complete shadow and part of it is in earthshine. It's a view worth the price of the trip.

The regret on our side is, they used to say years ago, we are reading about you in science class. Now they say, we are reading about you in history class.
