I was elated, ecstatic and extremely surprised that we were successful.

Ever since I was a little boy, I dreamed I would do something important in aviation.

We had hundreds of thousands of people all dedicated to doing the perfect job, and I think they did about as well as anyone could ever have expected.

It doesn't sound like there was time for the word to be there. On the other hand, I didn't intentionally make an inane statement... certainly the 'a' was intended, because that's the only way the statement makes any sense.

I thought the attractions of being an astronaut were actually, not so much the Moon, but flying in a completely new medium.

I like the aspect of technology. For me to spin the way I do, I would have to carry five crates of records with me everywhere I go, which in this day and age would be like two hundred extra dollars in baggage fees. All I need now is a hard drive and a computer and I can rock anywhere in the world.

Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon. July 1969 AD. We came in peace for all mankind.
