Alan Shepard Quotes

Then there was the challenge to keep doing better and better, to fly the best test flight that anybody had ever flown. That led to my being recognized as one of the more experienced test pilots, and that led to the astronaut business Picture Quote #1
We also knew it would be difficult, because of the financial condition of the family, for me to go to college Picture Quote #1
Whether you are an astronomer or a life scientist, geophysicist, or a pilot, you’ve got to be there because you believe you are good in your field, and you can contribute, not because you are going to get a lot of fame or whatever when you get back Picture Quote #1
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 Picture Quote #1
The same way people are now paying a couple thousand dollars to fly to other parts of the world, people will be paying $50,000 to spend a weekend on a space station Picture Quote #1
This is the first time that astronauts of the first group have exhibited things that are personal and sentimental to them. We hope it will encourage youngsters to follow in our footsteps Picture Quote #1

I think about the personal accomplishment, but there’s more of a sense of the grand achievement by all the people who could put this man on the moon Picture Quote #1
There’s no question that all the generations got excited about the first flights, with Kennedy’s inspiration to go to the moon, leaving the planet for the first time, and fortunately coming back Picture Quote #1
We wanted to be in great shape, we wanted to be able to cope with zero gravity, we wanted to be able to cope with accelerations and decelerations and so on. So all of us trained so that we were probably in the best physical condition we had ever been in up until that point Picture Quote #1
You have to be there not for the fame and glory and recognition and being a page in a history book, but you have to be there because you believe your talent and ability can be applied effectively to operation of the spacecraft Picture Quote #1
The rocket had worked perfectly, and all I had to do was survive the reentry forces. You do it all, in a flight like that, in a rather short period of time, just 16 minutes as a matter of fact Picture Quote #1
You know, being a test pilot isn’t always the healthiest business in the world Picture Quote #1

Al is on the surface. And it’s been a long way, but we’re here Picture Quote #1
You may not have any extra talent, but maybe you are just paying more attention to what you are doing Picture Quote #1
The pilot looked at his cues of attitude and speed and orientation and so on and responded as he would from the same cues in an airplane, but there was no way it flew the same. The simulators had showed us that Picture Quote #1
Because of the suit I was wearing, I couldn’t make a good pivot on the swing. And I had to hit the ball with one hand Picture Quote #1
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 Picture Quote #1
