  I am, and ever will be, a white socks, pocket protector, nerdy engineer.

  I believe that every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

  I can honestly say - and it's a big surprise to me - that I have never had a dream about being on the moon.

  I fully expected that, by the end of the century, we would have achieved substantially more than we actually did.

  I guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks, but for the ledger of our daily work.

  I think we're going to the moon because it's in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It's by the nature of his deep inner soul... we're required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream.

  I thought the attractions of being an astronaut were actually, not so much the Moon, but flying in a completely new medium.

  I'm substantially concerned about the policy directions of the space agency. We have a situation in the U.S. where the White House and Congress are at odds over what the future direction should be. They're sort of playing a game and NASA is the shuttlecoc

  It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.

  It's a brilliant surface in that sunlight. The horizon seems quite close to you because the curvature is so much more pronounced than here on earth. It's an interesting place to be. I recommend it.

  NASA has been one of the most successful public investments in motivating students to do well and achieve all they can achieve. It's sad that we are turning the programme in a direction where it will reduce the amount of motivation and stimulation it prov

  The important achievement of Apollo was demonstrating that humanity is not forever chained to this planet and our visions go rather further than that and our opportunities are unlimited.
