Text Quotes
When I first looked back at the Earth, standing on the Moon I cried  (Alan Shepard Quotes) I didn’t mind studying. Obviously math and the physical science subjects interested me more than some of the more artistic subjects, but I think I was a pretty good student.  (Alan Shepard Quotes) It’s been a long way, but we’re here  (Alan Shepard Quotes) They say any landing you can walk away from is a good one  (Alan Shepard Quotes) But when I was selected, after my very first tour of squadron duty, to become one of the youngest candidates for the test pilot school, I began to realize, maybe you are a little bit better  (Alan Shepard Quotes) Later, in the early teens, I used to ride my bike every Saturday morning to the nearest airport, ten miles away, push airplanes in and out of the hangars, and clean up the hangars  (Alan Shepard Quotes) I can hit it farther on the moon. But actually, my swing is better here on Earth  (Alan Shepard Quotes) We had some adverse conditions in the 60s, in the 70s and the 80s. The agency has risen above that in the past and will rise above that again  (Alan Shepard Quotes) The suit was so clumsy, being pressurized, it was impossible to get two hands comfortably on the handle and it’s impossible to make any kind of a turn. It was kind of a one-handed chili-dip  (Alan Shepard Quotes) You’ve done it in the simulator so many times, you don’t have a real sense of being excited when the flight is going on. You’re excited before, but as soon as the liftoff occurs, you are busy doing what you have to do.  (Alan Shepard Quotes) And I think that still is true of this business - which is basically research and development - that you probably spend more time in planning and training and designing for things to go wrong, and how you cope with them, than you do for things to go right.  (Alan Shepard Quotes) 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.  (Alan Shepard Quotes) The first plane ride was in a homemade glider my buddy and I built. Unfortunately we didn’t get more than four feet off the ground, because it crashed.  (Alan Shepard Quotes) We’re going to see passengers in space stations in 15 years, who will be able to buy a ticket and spend a weekend in space.  (Alan Shepard Quotes) The fact that every part of this ship was built by the low bidder  (Alan Shepard Quotes) Why don’t you fix your little problem and light this candle?  (Alan Shepard Quotes) Miles and miles and miles  (Alan Shepard Quotes) Got more dirt than ball. Here we go again  (Alan Shepard Quotes) Roger, liftoff, and the clock is started  (Alan Shepard Quotes) We need a continuing presence in space  (Alan Shepard Quotes) Why don’t you light that candle?  (Alan Shepard Quotes) I must admit, maybe I am a piece of history after all  (Alan Shepard Quotes) 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  (Alan Shepard Quotes) I didn’t mind studying. Obviously math and the physical science subjects interested me more than some of the more artistic subjects, but I think I was a pretty good student  (Alan Shepard Quotes) I’d like to say I was smart enough to finish six grades in five years, but I think perhaps the teacher was just glad to get rid of me  (Alan Shepard Quotes) 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  (Alan Shepard Quotes) Of course, in our grade school, in those days, there were no organized sports at all. We just went out and ran around the school yard for recess  (Alan Shepard Quotes) 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  (Alan Shepard Quotes) Of course I was delighted the flight was over, but I still had to worry about cleaning up inside the cabin, I had to worry about the hatch, how to get in the sling, and so on  (Alan Shepard Quotes) The first plane ride was in a homemade glider my buddy and I built. Unfortunately we didn’t get more than four feet off the ground, because it crashed  (Alan Shepard Quotes)
