I'm Not In Favor Of

A Mind Concerned About Danger Is A Clouded Mind. It's Paralyzing.

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.

I Was Lucky Enough To Have Been Born On This Planet Earth, In This Admirable Country Of The United States Of America.

We Feel That This Stands As A Symbol Of The Insatiable Curiosity Of All Mankind To Explore The Unknown.

There Were About Six Years When There Was Not One American Who Went Into Space. We Shouldn't Do That Again.
