Heroes:

"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."
-President John F. Kennedy
"What would you do if I sang out of tune, / Would you stand up and walk out on me? / Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song / And I’ll try not to sing out of key. / Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends / Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends / Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends"
-The Beatles
"That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind."
-Neil Armstrong
"We learned a lot about the moon, but what we really learned was about the earth. The fact that just from the distance of the moon you could put your thumb up and you can hide the earth behind your thumb. Everything you have ever known; your loved ones, your business, the problems of the earth itself. All behind your thumb."
-Jim Lovell
"...[S]uddenly I realized that the molecules of my body and the molecules of the spacecraft, the molecules of the bodies of my partners were prototyped and manufactured in some ancient generation of stars."
-Edgar Mitchell
"...I’m not saying that I’m able to face life with greater equanimity because I’ve flown to the moon, but I try to... And maybe some of our terrestrial squabbles don’t seem as important after having flown to the moon as they did before."
-Mike Collins
"CNN is one of the participants in the war. I have a fantasy where Ted Turner is elected president but refuses because he doesn’t want to give up power."
-Arthur C. Clarke
"Don’t worry about it, don’t think about the consequences until after you’ve done it."
-Mike McClory
"Screw that noise!"
-Amanda Beauregard
"Thanks for driving, guys."
-Greg Parker
"Our house is like a crossroads, [...] I kinda like it."
