At The Core Of The Risk-free Society

When I Am Getting Ready To Cross A Street, I Look Both Ways Before Crossing. My Bones, My Muscles, Are Not What They Used To Be, So I Am Careful When I Go Up And Down Stairs, Because I've Heard Stories Of Older People Falling And Having Very Disabling Injuries. I Have Enough Things That Begin To Go A Little Bit Wrong As I Get A Little Bit Older.

Some Things Just Can't Be Described. And Stepping Onto The Moon Was One Of Them.

In Space, You Don't Get That Much Noise. Noise Doesn't Propagate In A Vacuum.

Six Out Of Seven Times We Landed Successfully [on The Moon]. I Wanted To Be A Part Of That And I Was A Part Of That, So My Personal Feeling Is Of Great Gratefulness For Having Somehow Been In A Position To Have Been Given The Opportunity To Be On That First Landing. That's A Marvelous Experience For A Little Kid That Grew Up In New Jersey. So I'm Very Thankful, And I Asked The Whole World To Give Thanks Once We Successfully Landed.

I Suggest That Going To Mars Means Permanence On The Planet - A Mission By Which We Are Building Up A Confidence Level To Become A Two-planet Species.
