“I knew I was alone in a way that no earthling has ever been before.”
Michael Collins“I knew I was alone in a way that no earthling has ever been before.”
Michael Collins“I am alone now, truly alone, and absolutely isolated from any known life. I am it. If a count were taken, the score would be three billion plus two over on the other side of the moon, and one plus God knows what on this side.”
Michael Collins, Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut's Journey“We are off! And do we know it, not just because the world is yelling "Lift-off" in our ears, but because the seats of our pants tell us so! Trust your instruments, not your body, the modern pilot is always told, but this beast is best felt. Shake, rattle and roll!”
