Being a Naval Academy Grad my Father was friends with several Apollo Astronauts.
Jim Lovell was at my Father's house for dinner and I asked him what was his most memorable moment on the trip to theMoon 2.jpgMOON.jpg Moon. He replied - "Imagine being on the Moon and holding up your thumb and realizing your thumb covers up everything and person you have ever known and most importantly that is where you have to go to go back home!". See attached photo.
Separate from my Father a client had an Observatory in Schriever. I met Charles Duke at the airport to give him a ride and we had dinner.
When I purchased his photo that supports his ministry he asked me who to address it to and I replied - "To the Future". He looked puzzled and I added "It's the most important place we can go to". See his response on the attached photo.
