I am comfortable with my level of public discourse.
All the Apollo people were working hard, working long hours, and were dedicated to making certain everything they did, they were doing to the very best of their ability.
America must decide if it wishes to remain a leader in space. If it does, we should institute a programme which will give us the very best chance of achieving that goal.
I guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks but for the ledger of our daily work.
I thought, well. When I step off it's just going to be a little step, a step from there down to there, but then I thought about all those 400,000 people who had given me the opportunity to make that step and thought it's going to be a big something for all those folks and, indeed for a lot of others that weren't even involved in the project, so it was kind of a simple correlation.
There was great uncertainty about how well we would be able to walk in our cumbersome pressurized suit.
Without the skill and experience that actual spacecraft operation provides, the us is far too likely to be on a long downhill slide to mediocrity.
The exciting part for me, as a pilot, was the landing on the moon. That was the time that we had achieved the national goal of putting Americans on the moon. The landing approach was, by far, the most difficult and challenging part of the flight. Walking on the lunar surface was very interesting, but it was something we looked on as reasonably safe and predictable. So the feeling of elation accompanied the landing rather than the walking.
It's an interesting place to be. I recommend it.
The authors foresaw my part of the adventure, but your part was beyond their comprehension.
