Famous quotes by Jim Lovell:

"That training really helped us on the second time around, ... It was one of those acts of fate."

"I never thought I didn't have a card to play."

"I'm so proud of what they've done,"

"Instead of starting the eradication on the outskirts and forcing the rats in they bombed the garden and moved them out of the area and forced them here. I understand the pressure they were under to take care of the rats and open the school but they didn't consider anything else besides their own problem."

"We hadn't seen any rats or evidence of rats until the school district started the eradication program, and then we started to see evidence of the rats moving across the fence line."

"Back in those days, going to the moon, geology was important, ... But how do we train pilots to be geologists? We concentrated on observing, not the analytical parts of the rocks."

"A lot of stuff, we had to learn ourselves. Training became some school work in those areas we were not familiar with, like orbital mechanics, the extensive gyroscopic systems for control of the vehicle."

"The training in those days was rather ad hoc because the people running NASA were basically engineers,"

"Al was a very confident person, and he contributed a lot to the (space) program,"
