"Houston, Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed." –The first words spoken from the surface of the moon, by Neil Armstrong, upon landing the LM Eagle on the Lunar surface

"Okay, all flight controllers, listen up. Today is our day, and the hopes and the dreams of the entire world are with us. This is our time and our place, and we will remember this day and what we will do here always. In the next hour we will do something that has never been done before. We will land an American on the Moon. The risks are high... that is the nature of our work. We worked long hours and had some tough times but we have mastered our work. Now we are going to make this work pay off. You are a hell of a good team. One that I feel privileged to lead. Whatever happens, I will stand behind every call that you will make. Good luck and God bless us today." –Gene Kranz, "White Flight," talking to his team before the historic Apollo 11 moon landing.
