My Sunday Mornings Are Spent

I'm In Favor Of Changing The Destination Of Humans. There Are A Lot Of Manned Missions That Can Be Done, But Not In The Direction Of The Moon.

As Time Goes By, I'm Increasingly Impressed By How Very Special And Timely It Was That We Got The Degree Of National Commitment Needed To Put People On The Moon. For The First Time, This Nation Was United In Trying To Develop An Interplanetary Capability. We've Been Trying To Repeat That Situation Ever Since.

Any Observations From The Moon Or A Sense Of Realising This Or That About The Greater Meaning Of Things Wasn't As Influential For Me As The Experience Of Coming Back And Dealing With Being A Person Who's Been To The Moon.

The Feeling Of Reduced Gravity And The Limitations Of The Space Suit Resulted In A Slow-motion Movement. Perhaps Not Too Far From A Trampoline, But Without The Springiness And Instability.

I Suggest That Going To Mars Means Permanence On The Planet - A Mission By Which We Are Building Up A Confidence Level To Become A Two-planet Species.
