Capsule Thoughts

As I lie there in this capsule, looking at the switches, buttons, and readouts, during the countdown I think, “Just think, this thing was built by the lowest bidder.”

- Astronaut Walter Schirra, fifth American in space and the only man to fly in all of America’s three space programs (Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo). Also grew up in the town I went to high school, a town where there is now a street and a small park named after him.

No reason for posting. Just something I came across a few days ago and chuckled over.
