I Don't Watch 'american Idol,' But I

As A Youngster, I Read Of Buck Rogers And Flash Gordon. As A Student, I Wrote English Reports On Science Fiction. And As A Fighter Pilot, I Observed The Selection Of The Mercury Astronauts. All This Was Fascinating, But I Really Didn't Think I Would Ever Be A Part Of It. It Was Only When My Good Friend Ed White Was Selected As A Gemini Astronaut That I Decided To Join Nasa As Part Of The Apollo Program.

Everyone Who's Been In Space Would, I'm Sure, Welcome The Opportunity For A Return To The Exhilarating Experiences There.

What Are You Going To Do With Astronauts Who First Reach The Surface Of Mars And Then Turn Around And Rocket Back Home-ward? What Are They Going To Do, Write Their Memoirs? Would They Go Again? Having Them Repeat The Voyage, In My View, Is Dim-witted. Why Don't They Stay There On Mars?

I Felt Pretty Confident In Relieving Myself, Since I Had The Urge.

I Don't Believe Any Pair Of People Had Been More Removed Physically From The Rest Of The World Than We Were.
