Apollo Quotes

  • “We wanted to be in great shape, we wanted to be able to cope with zero gravity, we wanted to be able to cope with accelerations and decelerations and so on. So all of us trained so that we were probably in the best physical condition we had ever been in up until that point.”
    by Alan Shepard
  • “It's a very sobering feeling to be up in space and realize that one's safety factor was determined by the lowest bidder on a government contract.”
    by Alan Shepard
