If Somebody'd Said Before The

Roger, Liftoff, And The Clock Is Started.

I Just Wanted To Be The First One To Fly For America, Not Because I'd End Up In The Pages Of History Books.

I Woke Up An Hour Before I Was Supposed To, And Started Going Over The Mental Checklist: Where Do I Go From Here, What Do I Do? I Don't Remember Eating Anything At All, Just Going Through The Physical, Getting Into The Suit. We Practiced That So Much, It Was All Rote.

We Worked With The Engineers In The Design And Construction And Testing Phases In Those Various Areas, Then We Would Get Back Together At The End Of The Week And Brief Each Other As To What Had Gone On.

You May Not Have Any Extra Talent, But Maybe You Are Just Paying More Attention To What You Are Doing.
