Was it something like "Oh, lord, please don't let Me **** up!"

If so, it's come to be known as the "pilots prayer" or "astronauts prayer" alternately.

That's the one.

One day I met the man who put the astronauts in the capsules for all the programs. He was a very interesting man. He said they were pretty much all nice guys.

He also said Alan Shepard was very aware of what he was sitting on. Doesn't sound Machiavellian to me. It sounds humble.

He was also exactly the same weight and build as Gus Grissom and they used him to fit and work on his space suit for Apollo 1. That incident brought tears to his eyes.

Who doesn't well up just a little when they think of that big USA going straight to heaven when they launched the Saturn 5? I want that American back, Barky Milhous No-NASA.
