Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a playful, personal quote about watching the moon?
Yes: "Don't even try to talk to me when I'm watching the moon. That's my moon, baby."
Is there a quote about developing a deeper interest in the Moon?
Yes: "For a deeper interest in the Moon than I ever felt before."
Is there a quote about the Moon and Mars as candidates for life?
Yes: "The Moon and Mars were the two most likely candidates for life in the solar system; what exists beyond our solar system is mere guesswork."
Is there a quote connecting the Apollo Moon program to Cold War politics?
Yes, one frames it as partly image-driven: "Kennedy had made a mess in Cuba at the Bay of Pigs. He had to do something to look good. The Apollo program of going to the Moon was quite a goal." It's presented as that speaker's own historical take, not a verified fact.
Where can I find more related quotes?

Others look outward scientifically, weighing the Moon and Mars as the likeliest candidates for life in our solar system, or looking back at the Apollo program as a goal shaped as much by politics as by ambition. Read more in our Man quotes, or see where people want to Go.
