Roger, Liftoff, And The Clock Is Started.

Why Don't You Fix Your Little Problem And Light This Candle?

I Think The Sense Of Family And Family Achievement, Plus The Discipline Which I Received There From That One-room School Were Really Very Helpful In What I Did Later On.

If Somebody'd Said Before The Flight, 'are You Going To Get Carried Away Looking At The Earth From The Moon?' I Would Have Say, 'no, No Way.' But Yet When I First Looked Back At The Earth, Standing On The Moon, I Cried.

Obviously I Was Challenged By Becoming A Naval Aviator, By Landing Aboard Aircraft Carriers And So On.

You've Done It In The Simulator So Many Times, You Don't Have A Real Sense Of Being Excited When The Flight Is Going On. You're Excited Before, But As Soon As The Liftoff Occurs, You Are Busy Doing What You Have To Do.
