I must admit, maybe I am a piece of history after all.

Got more dirt than ball. Here we go again.

I think the sense of family and family achievement, plus the discipline which I received there from that one-room school were really very helpful in what I did later on.

I just wanted to be the first one to fly for America, not because I'd end up in the pages of history books.

I think about the personal accomplishment, but there's more of a sense of the grand achievement by all the people who could put this man on the moon.

I can hit it farther on the moon. But actually, my swing is better here on Earth.

I guess those of us who have been with NASA kind of understand the tremendous excitement and thrills and celebrations and national pride that went with the Apollo program is just something you're not going to create again, probably until we go to Mars.
