It's Different, But It's Very Pretty Out Here. I Suppose They Are Going To Make A Big Deal Of All This.

The Exciting Part For Me, As A Pilot, Was The Landing On The Moon. That Was The Time That We Had Achieved The National Goal Of Putting Americans On The Moon.

The Single Observation I Would Offer For Your Consideration Is That Some Things Are Beyond Your Control. You Can Lose Your Health To Illness Or Accident. You Can Lose Your Wealth To All Manner Of Unpredictable Sources. What Are Not Easily Stolen From You Without Your Cooperation Are Your Principles And Your Values. They Are Your Most Important Possessions And, If Carefully Selected And Nurtured, Will Well Serve You And Your Fellow Man.

Yeah, I Wasn't Chosen To Be First. I Was Just Chosen To Command That Flight. Circumstance Put Me In That Particular Role. That Wasn't Planned By Anyone.
