Neil Armstrong
When you deejay a party, a good DJ's job is to take care of the crowd. If people want to hear Britney Spears, that's what you're supposed to do.Collection: Jobs
It doesn't sound like there was time for the word to be there. On the other hand, I didn't intentionally make an inane statement... certainly the 'a' was intended, because that's the only way the statement makes any sense.Collection: Hands
It's different, but it's very pretty out here. I suppose they are going to make a big deal of all this.Collection: Moon
Houston, that may have seemed like a very long final phase. The autotargeting was taking us right into a ... crater, with a large number of big boulders and rocks ... and it required ... flying manually over the rock field to find a reasonably good area.Collection: Rocks
I like the aspect of technology. For me to spin the way I do, I would have to carry five crates of records with me everywhere I go, which in this day and age would be like two hundred extra dollars in baggage fees. All I need now is a hard drive and a computer and I can rock anywhere in the world.Collection: Technology
I'm one of the more positive cats, but when people go off about everybody wanting to be a DJ, I don't doubt them either. I understand their point as well.Collection: Cat
The view of the moon that we've been having recently is really spectacular. It fills about three-quarters of the hatch window, and of course we can see the entire circumference even though part of it is in complete shadow and part of it is in earthshine. It's a view worth the price of the trip.Collection: Moon
I guess because deejaying has become my job, I tend to listen to really horrible stuff on my spare time. If you heard my iPod you'd be like, "what the hell?"Collection: Jobs
I have been in relatively high-risk businesses all of my adult life. Few of the others, however, had the possibility of direct gains in knowledge which this one had. I have confidence in the equipment, the planning, the training. I suspect that on a risk-gain ratio, this project would compare very, very favorably with those to which I've been accustomed on the past 20 years.Collection: Future
Technology makes good DJ's better, but also allows your average person to think they're a DJ, and unfortunately there's no checks and balances about people making it a career.Collection: Technology
There are people I'll always love to listen to, and I'm always ending up discovering new songs by them, which is crazy. Like Stevie Wonder.Collection: Song
Hey, we missed the whole thing.Collection: Apollo
I suspect that even though the various questions are difficult and many, they are not as difficult and many as those we faced when we started the Apollo [space program] in 1961.Collection: Space
Damn I really did it. I blew the first words on the moon, didn't I?Collection: Moon
How we use the knowledge we gain determines our progress on earth, in space or on the moon. Your library is a storehouse for mind and spirit. Use it well.Collection: Moon
Figure out how to build a brand and stick by it so people know what to expect.Collection: People
This blowing dust became increasingly thicker. It was very much like landing in a fast moving ground fog.Collection: Moving
The exciting part for me, as a pilot, was the landing on the moon. That was the time that we had achieved the national goal of putting Americans on the moon. The landing approach was, by far, the most difficult and challenging part of the flight. Walking on the lunar surface was very interesting, but it was something we looked on as reasonably safe and predictable. So the feeling of elation accompanied the landing rather than the walking.Collection: Moon
I am comfortable with my level of public discourse.Collection: Levels
Lindsay Lohan isn't a DJ, but because of her celebrity power she can do a gig somewhere, put her name on a flyer, and she'll probably bring in more people and make more money than I ever will.Collection: Names
Perhaps it won't matter, in the end, which country is the sower of the seed of exploration. The importance will be in the growth of the new plant of progress and in the fruits it will bear. These fruits will be a new breed of the human species, a human with new views, new vigor, new resiliency, and a new view of the human purpose. The plant: the tree of human destiny.Collection: Country
It's a strange, eerie sensation to fly a lunar landing trajectory not difficult, but somewhat complex and unforgiving.Collection: Eerie
There are two of them up here.Collection: Two
Every flying machine has its own unique characteristics, some good, some not so good. Pilots naturally fly the craft in such a manner as to take advantage of its good characteristics and avoid the areas where it is not so good.Collection: Unique
I tell you, we're going to be busy for a minute.Collection: Airplane
Now and then I miss the excitement about being in the cockpit of an airplane and doing new things.Collection: Airplane
Space has not changed but technology has, in many cases, improved dramatically. A good example is digital technology where today's cell phones are far more powerful than the computers on the Apollo Command Module and Lunar Module that we used to navigate to the moon and operate all the spacecraft control systems.Collection: Powerful
I am, and ever will be, a white-socks, pocket-protector, nerdy engineer.Collection: White
No matter when you had been to this spot before, a thousand years ago or a hundred thousand years ago, or if you came back to it a million years from now, you would see some different things each time, but the scene would be generally the same.Collection: Science
Fear is not an unknown emotion to us.Collection: Fear
History will remember the twentieth century for two technological developments: atomic energy and space flight.Collection: Future
We would like to give special thanks to all those Americans who built the spacecraft; who did the construction, design, the tests, and put their hearts and all their abilities into those craft. To those people tonight, we give a special thank you, and to all the other people that are listening and watching tonight, God bless you. Good night from Apollo 11.Collection: Good Night
The regret on our side is, they used to say years ago, we are reading about you in science class. Now they say, we are reading about you in history class.Collection: Regret
For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink.Collection: Moon
I believe that the message of Apollo XI was that in the spirit of Apollo, a free and open spirit, you can attack a very difficult goal and achieve it, if you can all agree and work together to achieve that goal.Collection: Believe
I think if there was anything I learned from our skipper was that it's not how you look; it's how you perform.Collection: Thinking
I hope you become comfortable with the use of logic without being deceived into concluding that logic will inevitably lead you to the correct conclusion.Collection: Use
In flying, the probability of survival is inversely proportional to the angle of arrival.Collection: Science
It never hurts to have friends around, so that's why you'd form a crew.Collection: Hurt
I am, and ever will be, a white-socks, pocket-protector, nerdy engineer - born under the second law of thermodynamics, steeped in steam tables, in love with free-body diagrams, transformed by Laplace, and propelled by compressible flow.Collection: Law
Start at the end and work back.Collection: Ends
As I stepped on the moon, I looked around, dazed...magnifice nt. The vast, sandy silver surface was almost illusory.Collection: Moon
The [Moon] surface is fine and powdery. I can kick it up loosely with my toe. It does adhere in fine layers like powdered charcoal to the sole and sides of my boots. I only go in a small fraction of an inch, maybe an eighth of an inch, but I can see the footprints of my boots and the treads in the fine sandy particles.Collection: Science
I guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks but for the ledger of our daily work.Collection: Pieces
Society’s future will depend on a continuous improvement program for the human character. And what will that future bring? I do not know, but it will be exciting.Collection: Character
Geologists have a saying – rocks remember.Collection: Reality
I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.Collection: Space
Damn I really did it. I blew the first words on the moon, didn’t I?Collection: Firsts
Yeah, I wasn’t chosen to be first. I was just chosen to command that flight. Circumstance put me in that particular role. That wasn’t planned by anyone.Collection: Firsts
