Famous quotes by Wally Schirra:

"[Still] Jolly Wally, ... delighted that John is going up, instead of me. He needs the flying time, I don't. I even gave up my pilot's license. Can't afford it."

"After the Apollo 1 crew was lost, we said that we wore a black armband for a few weeks, and we wear it in our hearts forever."

"[Along with a gallery of photos displayed throughout, the book comes with a DVD that has save-for-your-grandchildren moments, like a mini-documentary on Shepard's first flight, as well as some whimsical moments with elaborate practical jokes.] Levity is lubricant of crises, ... gotcha."

"always that sibling rivalry."

"This morning I drove the back roads to our Mercury launch pad, Complex Fourteen. There was a plaque with all our names on it. Now anyone who is happy to see his name engraved in marble really has something to worry about."

"John's going to get some unbelievable surprises, ... Some people get quite sick in space and it's quite normal. It's not a macho thing -- it's something that can happen."

"I liked that the book brought von Braun to the surface. People didn't know much about him. He was a very gracious man who did some amazing things."

"The Real Space Cowboys,"

"If the mission didn't succeed, we would have held up the whole program,"

"Kids today don't want to get married. Too many of their friends have been married and divorced already. They just don't believe in it."

"We spent a lot of time in simulators. We were going to do it right."

"Dad went to Canada to learn how to fly with the Royal Canadian Air Force. He took me on my first airplane ride, where I could have a hand on the stick."

"He who commands an Apollo flight will not command a second one."

"I played English football - soccer - instead of American football, because we couldn't afford the equipment."

"John Glenn craved the publicity. I think even John would admit that. When he went into politics, that became pretty obvious! He knew how to do public relations."

"I don't go along with going to Moon first to build a launch pad to go to Mars. We should go to Mars from Earth orbit. We have already been to the Moon; we've already practiced."

"I remember seeing war hero Jimmy Doolittle fly a Gee Bee racer there. He was my childhood hero. Many years later, I was lucky enough to go hunting with him."

"Another real problem was over putting our helmets on for re-entry, because we all had severe head colds. They couldn't come up there and make us. Houston, you have a problem!"

"When a test pilot comes off a flight, there is typically another pilot who is going to take it up, and he believes in the debriefing. You don't keep something to yourself."

"Each test pilot I know considers him, or herself, now that there are women, to be the very best. It's very demeaning to step down the ladder once in a while."
