After about 30 minutes I puked all over my airplane. I said to my self, "Man, you made a big mistake."

What good does it do to be afraid? It doesn't help anything. You better try and figure out what's happening and correct it.

You do what you can for as long as you can, and when you finally can't, you do the next best thing. You back up but you don't give up.

The best pilots fly more than the others; that's why they're the best.

There is no kind of ultimate goal to do something twice as good as anyone else can. It's just to do the job as best you can. If it turns out good, fine. If it doesn't, that's the way it goes.

That to me is a bunch of crap trying to shoot guys up into damned space. What they're going to do is they're going to wipe out half a dozen people one of these days, and that will be the end of it.

Hey Ridley, that Machometer is acting screwy. It just went off the scale on me.
