This is one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.
Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon. July 1969 AD. We came in peace for all mankind.
All in all, for someone who was immersed in, fascinated by, and dedicated to flight, I was disappointed by the wrinkle in history that had brought me along one generation late. I had missed all the great times and adventures in flight.
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 shuttlecock that they're hitting back and forth.
Research is creating new knowledge.
