We Need A Continuing Presence In Space.

We Wanted To Be In Great Shape, We Wanted To Be Able To Cope With Zero Gravity, We Wanted To Be Able To Cope With Accelerations And Decelerations And So On. So All Of Us Trained So That We Were Probably In The Best Physical Condition We Had Ever Been In Up Until That Point.

So Everything Turned Out Fine, And We Were Given The Opportunity To Go To Washington And Be Briefed On The Project Of Man In Space, And Given The Opportunity To Choose Whether We Wanted To Get Involved Or Not.

We Had Some Adverse Conditions In The '60s, In The '70s And The '80s. The Agency Has Risen Above That In The Past And Will Rise Above That Again.

We're Going To See Passengers In Space Stations In 15 Years, Who Will Be Able To Buy A Ticket And Spend A Weekend In Space.

Roger, Liftoff, And The Clock Is Started.
