When I'm 60, maybe, I'll look at my pile of papers and wonder, What really happened that year?
I told them how excited I would be to go into space and how thrilled I was when Alan Shepard made his historic flight, and when John Kennedy announced on the news that the men had landed safely on the moon, and how jealous I was of those men.
If anything, the overriding emotion is gonna just be excitement.
Every shuttle mission's been successful.
What are we doing here? We're reaching for the stars!
I can remember in early elementary school when the Russians launched the first satellite. There was still so much unknown about space. People thought Mars was probably populated.
