The Mass Gross Absence Of Sound In

Am I Willing To Go To Mars? Yes, But I'm Not Willing To Spend Nine Months Getting There, Then Wait 18 More Months Until The Planets Align To Come Home.

As I Take Man's Last Step From The Surface, Back Home For Some Time To Come...i'd Like To Just (say) What I Believe History Will Record. That America's Challenge Of Today Has Forged Man's Destiny Of Tomorrow. As We Leave The Moon At Taurus- Littrow, We Leave As We Came And, God Willing, As We Shall Return, With Peace And Hope For All Mankind. "godspeed The Crew Of Apollo 17."

After Apollo 17, America Stopped Looking Towards The Next Horizon. The United States Had Become A Space-faring Nation, But Threw It Away. We Have Sacrificed Space Exploration For Space Exploitation, Which Is Interesting But Scarcely Visionary.

Here I Am At The Turn Of The Millennium And I'm Still The Last Man To Have Walked On The Moon, Somewhat Disappointing. It Says More About What We Have Not Done Than About What We Have Done.

Curiosity Is The Essence Of Human Existence. 'who Are We? Where Are We? Where Do We Come From? Where Are We Going?' I Don't Know. I Don't Have Any Answers To Those Questions. I Don't Know What's Over There Around The Corner. But I Want To Find Out.
