“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.”
~Neil Armstrong, Commander, Apollo 11
“Space is not just going up and coming back down again. Space is getting into orbit and being there, living there, establishing a presence, a permanence.”
~Buzz Aldrin, Lunar Module Pilot, Apollo 11
