That was a good long run. What an exciting life to have lived.

What an exciting life to have lived

One wonderful day I had a very long chat with Frank Borman. He told me that the only terrible thing about going to the moon is that there is nothing ever again that exciting. He reminded me that astronauts are strictly adrenaline junkies.

He also said that the Saturn V boost phase was pretty terrifying.
