Lot Essay

Norman Mailer who covered the Apollo 11 flight for Life Magazine described the astronauts:
“Aldrin was a life given over to good physical condition, a form of grace... Armstrong was a high priest of the forces of society and scientific history... Collins was cool... The living spirit of
good and graceful manners... The man everybody was glad to see at a party” (Mailer, p.82).

“It’s human nature to stretch, to go, to see, to understand. Exploration is not a choice really, it’s an imperative.”
Michael Collins
