Mars Is There, Waiting To Be Reached.

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.

When I Was A Little Kid, We Only Knew About Our Nine Planets. Since Then, We've Downgraded Pluto But Have Discovered That Other Solar Systems And Stars Are Common. So Life Is Probably Quite Prevalent.

I Was Motivated To Improve The U.s. Strategy Of Going Back To The Moon In 1985. That's A Long Time Ago. Going Back To The Moon Would Be A Great Achievement For Tourism Adventure Flights.

The First Human Beings To Land On Mars Should Not Come Back To Earth. They Should Be The Beginning Of A Build-up Of A Colony/settlement, I Call It A 'permanence'.

To Appropriately Respond To An Emergency Requires A Very Clear Mind, To Cooly Analyze What The Observations Are And How To Fix It.
