I Want To Reach A New Generation.

On Apollo 11 In Route To The Moon, I Observed A Light Out The Window That Appeared To Be Moving Alongside Us. It Was Either The Rocket We Had Separated From, Or The 4 Panels That Moved Away When We Extracted The Lander From The Rocket And We Were Nose To Nose With The Two Spacecraft. So In The Close Vicinity, Moving Away, Were 4 Panels. And I Feel Absolutely Convinced That We Were Looking At The Sun Reflected Off Of One Of These Panels.

Retain The Vision For Space Exploration. If We Turn Our Backs On The Vision Again, We're Going To Have To Live In A Secondary Position In Human Space Flight For The Rest Of The Century.

The Moon I See Now Is The Same Moon I Saw Before. Except That Before, When I Looked At It, It Was In Anticipation Of What It Would Be Like When I Got There. That's Behind Me Now.

I Think Humans Will Reach Mars, And I Would Like To See It Happen In My Lifetime.

Once You've Been First, It Cannot Be Done Again. Not By You, Not By Anyone Else.
