I Think First Of All You Have

I Guess Those Of Us Who Have Been With Nasa Kind Of Understand The Tremendous Excitement And Thrills And Celebrations And National Pride That Went With The Apollo Program Is Just Something You're Not Going To Create Again, Probably Until We Go To Mars.

Later, In The Early Teens, I Used To Ride My Bike Every Saturday Morning To The Nearest Airport, Ten Miles Away, Push Airplanes In And Out Of The Hangars, And Clean Up The Hangars.

Of Course I Was Delighted The Flight Was Over, But I Still Had To Worry About Cleaning Up Inside The Cabin, I Had To Worry About The Hatch, How To Get In The Sling, And So On.

I Can Hit It Farther On The Moon. But Actually, My Swing Is Better Here On Earth.

There's No Question That All The Generations Got Excited About The First Flights, With Kennedy's Inspiration To Go To The Moon, Leaving The Planet For The First Time, And Fortunately Coming Back.
