Nobody Likes Spending a Week With Me |

I used to dream about being an astronaut. I just never had the grades. Or the physical endurance. Plus I threw up a lot and nobody liked spending a week with me.

So where are all the guys like them, these days? And why is that kind of guy no longer in vogue??

I always wanted to be a Navy pilot until I found out you had to be smart…and do math…
I met Lovell once in Texas. A very open and friendly man.

I met Alan Shepard and heard him speak – got his autograph and book. He was a very funny man.

Rev: No kidding. Where are they?
CP and Lou: I’ve heard the same about those men. American heroes.
