We Leave As We Came, And, God

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.

The Moon Is Bland In Color. I Call It Shades Of Gray. You Know, The Only Color We See Is What We Bring Or The Earth, Which Is Looking Down Upon Us All The Time. And To Find Orange Soil On The Moon Was A Surprise.

I Hold The World Speed Record Downhill, In A Rover. I Think It Was 17 Kilometers Per Hour, Downhill.

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].

If The Guidance Failed Or Started To Stray Or Went Somewhere We Didn't Like Or The Ground Didn't Like, I Could Flip A Switch, And I Could Control Seven, Over Seven And A Half Million Pounds Of Thrust With This Handle And Fly The Thing To The Moon Myself.
