Alan Bean > Quotes

“I find it curious that I never heard any astronaut say that he wanted to go to the Moon so he would be able to look back and see the Earth. We all wanted to see what the Moon looked like close up. Yet, for most of us, the most memorable sight was not of the Moon but of our beautiful blue and white home, moving majestically around the sun, all alone and infinite black space.”
― Alan Bean

“We cannot relive Apollo, but we can preserve its legacy; we can continue to tell the story.”
― Alan Bean, Apollo: An Eyewitness Account by Astronaut/Explorer Artist/Moonwalker Alan Bean
