If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
Godspeed, pioneer.

God bless and thank you. The courage displayed, to walk into the unknown, awes me.
I'm amazed at the sacrifice of being willing to take the same risk in going to the moon, but not actually getting to land with on the surface. And to be willing to be absolutely isolated from all human contact when on the far side of the moon as well.
Hopefully we can get someone back to the moon before the last of those who went die of old age.

RIP, steely-eyed missile man.

It's a commonly held myth that command module pilots were somehow second stringers when the opposite is actually true. They were very carefully chosen for their preference for their own company and their individual initiative. In a worst case scenario the CMP had to bring the ship back alone, hardly a job for the JV.
RIP Mr. Collins.
We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......
