And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Buzz Aldrin and Jim Lovell in the last Gemini mission
Buzz opens the door in space on this, his first rookie mission, and goes extravehicular.
Buzz was always a ballsy guy. Riding Apollo 11 down to the first, the very first, landing on the moon ? Balls of steel, even if he wasn't the guy actually doing the flying.
Back when we had the right stuff, and lived it!
ReplyDelete"his first rookie mission": how many astronauts had more than one rookie mission?
ReplyDeleteOk, Mr. Clever, it should have been "his first, rookie, mission."
DeleteNerves of steel to open that door for the 1st time.
