Roger. We've got you, we're go on that alarm.

Roger, Tranquility. We copy you on the ground. You've got a bunch of guys about to turn blue. We're breathing again. Thanks a lot.

Roger, Tranquility. Be advised there are lots of smiling faces in this room and all over the world. Over.

Roger, we copy. It was beautiful from here, Tranquility. Over.

We've been to the Moon nine times. Why would we fake it nine times, if we faked it?

I'm proud to be an American, I'll tell you. What a program and what a place and what an experience.

I want to work, but I certainly am not going to be clawing at empty things when I can completely fill up my bucket with them - the other is a waste of my time.

Our strength is often composed of the weakness that we're damned if we're going to show.

People used to be funny about approaching me, but now they seem to think I'm as sane as anyone who's done what I've done in movies can be.

The doctor looked my body over. I said: Is there any hope? He said: Yes. Reincarnation.
