Heavy lifting doesn't need to be heavy spending if we do the job right.

As a student, I wrote English reports on science fiction.

I didn't start skiing until I was 50. My wife Lois taught me how to ski. I'm proficiently conservative.

I expected the unexpected and went [on the Moon] with an open mind. I think the visual scene was described by my words on first landing - "magnificent desolation." Magnificent for the achievement of being there, and desolate for the eons of lifelessness.
