Jim Lovell Space Quotations

Al was a very confident person, and he contributed a lot to the (space) program,

The Earth from here is a grand oasis in the big vastness of space.

It looks to me, looking out the hatch, that we are venting something. We are venting something into the-into the space.

The real friends of the space voyager are the stars. Their friendly, familiar patterns are constant companions, unchanging, out there.

We learned a lot about the Moon, but what we really learned was about the Earth. The fact that just from the distance of the Moon you can put your thumb up and you can hide the Earth behind your thumb. Everything that you've ever known, your loved ones, your business, the problems of the Earth itself-all behind your thumb. And how insignificant we really all are, but then how fortunate we are to have this body and to be able to enjoy loving here amongst the beauty of the Earth itself.
