Mom Was Always Doing Something For Somebody.

Perhaps The Two Greatest Moments Of My Life Were Standing On The Moon And Being Outside Of The Room When My Granddaughter Was Born! We Tend Not To Remember The Worst.

As I Step Off At The Surface At Taurus-littrow, I'd Like To Dedicate The First Step Of Apollo 17 To All Those Who Made It Possible.

When You Head On Out To The Moon, In Very Short Order, And You Get A Chance To Look Back At The Earth, That Horizon Slowly Curves Around In Upon Himself, And All Of Sudden You're Looking At Something That Is Very Strange, But Yet Is Very, Very Familiar, Because You're Beginning To See The Earth Evolve.

Nobody Can Take Those Footsteps I Made On The Surface Of The Moon Away From Me.

Once I Finally Stepped On The Moon, No Matter What Was To Come Of The Next Three Days - Or The Rest Of My Life - Nobody Could Take Those Steps From Me. People Ask How Long Will They Be There, And I Say Forever, However Long Forever Is, Like My Daughter’s Initials That I Scribbled In The Sand [tdc For Tracy Dawn Cernan].
