In the research I did for 'Apollo,' there was never a moment's hesitation by anyone that we would do anything other than save these guys, until every resource, every ounce of energy was spent. And I'm very proud of that aspect of our culture.

And we owe science to the combined energies of individual men of genius, rather than to any tendency to progress inherent in civilization.
In a serious struggle there is no worse cruelty than to be magnanimous at an inopportune time.
