Some of the wives didn't keep up with the program. It started breaking apart during the Apollo days.

Each test pilot I know considers him, or herself, now that there are women, to be the very best. It's very demeaning to step down the ladder once in a while

I don't go along with going to Moon first to build a launch pad to go to Mars. We should go to Mars from Earth orbit. We have already been to the Moon; we've already practiced.

Kennedy had made a mess in Cuba at the Bay of Pigs. He had to do something to look good. The Apollo program of going to the Moon was quite a goal.

I left Earth three times and found no other place to go. Please take care of Spaceship Earth.

Levity is the lubricant of a crisis. We resort to jokes, pranks and good natured kidding to relieve tension, stress and boredom.

I've always thought space station is a great name. It should be like a gas station where we go for service and supplies before heading further out

A little levity is appropriate in a dangerous trade.

We spent a lot of time in simulators. We were going to do it right.

Kids today don't want to get married. Too many of their friends have been married and divorced already. They just don't believe in it

Apollo was a big, unwieldy vehicle. I had a problem with the flight controllers over that. It would try to fare its way like an airplane.

The mind work sometimes in life as it does in a dream. It makes substitutions...

It is not the difficulty of achieving greatness that stops us but the fear of being great.

More men feel comfortable doing "public speaking," while more women feel comfortable doing "private" speaking.

It is a great happiness to be praised of them that are most praise-worthy.

To deny our pasts is to burn the bridge we must cross to self-understanding.

I'm a feminist because I believe in women... it's a heavy word, feminism, but it's not one I think we should run from. I'm proud to be a feminist.

A fool cannot be an actor, though an actor may act a fool's part.

Scold your children, and they will know what is wrong; but correct them with love, and they will know what is right.
