Quotes 

• Deke Slayton : You wanna cry about Apollo 15? Let me tell you something. There may not be an Apollo 12, much less 15.

  Edward Baldwin : What the hell are you talking about?

  Deke Slayton : The country's in shock, Eddie. Like Pearl Harbor shock. American people thought we had this thing in the bag, then the Russians come along and snatch it away at the last minute. Congress is talking about hearings, the president is looking for someone to blame, and you just served up the whole goddamn agency for a necktie party.

  Edward Baldwin : They really might cancel everything after 11?

  Deke Slayton : That's usually what happens when the race is over. Winner collects their prize, loser goes home.

• Edward Baldwin : Apollo Applications is Siberia with a desk.

• Edward Baldwin : Okay, I loved those guys, all right. Gus and Roger and Ed, I think about them every day. I mean, we all do. They were good men. That's the thing. Good men die in test planes all the time. But we don't change the whole culture of flight test 'cause good men die. We still get up there and push the envelope every single day, and maybe, maybe today's the day you don't come back. We all know that. It's always there. But we get up there anyway, and we keep taking the risks. But we stopped taking risks at NASA. And that's why we lost the moon.
