I Still Love To Fly And I'll

The Most Important Thing We Can Do Is Inspire Young Minds And To Advance The Kind Of Science, Math And Technology Education That Will Help Youngsters Take Us To The Next Phase Of Space Travel.

That Whole Day [ Of The Space Flight] Is Very Vividly Impressed On My Memory Because It Was Such A New Experience. We Hadn't Done That Before. And Then I've Recalled It So Often Since Then I Think That It's A - It's Remained Very Vivid Over The Past 50 Years, Seems To Me Like About A Week Or Two Instead Of 50 Years.

Exploration, Of Course, Is Going To New Places, But I Don't Think We Go To New Places Just Solely To Say: "well, We've Been There," And Come Back, Interesting Though It May Be. To Me, Each Time We Go Farther Into Space We Should Use That To Do Basic Research - Basic Research That Can't Be Done Before You Go There.

We Have An Infinite Amount To Learn Both From Nature And From Each Other.

I Don't Like The Way The Whole Thing Has Developed. And I Just Hope That We Develop Our Own Transportation System, Both Spacecraft And New Boosters, As Soon As Possible. I Hate To Think That We May Be Out There Seven To Ten Years Out And Dependent On The Russians For Our Journey Into Space.
