“It’s going to be exciting, this conquest of space, and full of a lot of wonderful things… things we haven’t even dreamed about yet.”

Ed White in an Apollo navigation simulator at the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory. Can’t find a specific date, but most likely some time after March 1966 when he was announced as the senior pilot of Apollo 1.

From top to bottom: Alan Shepard, Jim Lovell, and Neil Armstrong. All Apollo Commanders trained on the LLRV/LLTV to simulate landing on the moon. Many of them later attested that it was very helpful to have this experience when it came to actually landing on the lunar surface, but I also kinda remember reading somewhere that some of them hated training on it.

Always remember: never let them down.
