Alan Shepard

I must admit, maybe I am a piece of history after all.

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.

It's been a long way, but we're here.

I know I'm not the kind of person who's gonna wind up a walking jukebox, like many rock 'n' roll artists. They just play their hits and that's it. That doesn't appeal to me.

America stands for the land of opportunity.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.
