I guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks, but for the ledger of our daily work.
Every flying machine has its own unique characteristics, some good, some not so good. Pilots naturally fly the craft in such a manner as to take advantage of its good characteristics and avoid the areas where it is not so good.
It's different, but it's very pretty out here. I suppose they are going to make a big deal of all this.
I hope you become comfortable with the use of logic without being deceived into concluding that logic will inevitably lead you to the correct conclusion.
We would like to give special thanks to all those Americans who built the spacecraft; who did the construction, design, the tests, and put their hearts and all their abilities into those craft. To those people tonight, we give a special thank you, and to all the other people that are listening and watching tonight, God bless you. Good night from Apollo 11.

It's a great thing for a man to walk on the moon. But it's a greater thing for God to walk on the earth.
Start at the end and work back.
I thought the attractions of being an astronaut were actually, not so much the Moon, but flying in a completely new medium.
