Colm Feore: Wernher von Braun

Quotes 

• Thomas Paine : Beginning with Apollo 12, we will be scouting for the location of a permanent military installation on the moon.

  Wernher von Braun : Absolutely not. We're a scientific program, not a playground for G. I. Joe.

  Thomas Paine : Wernher, this is a good thing. Nixon's doubling down on the program. Our budgets will go up exponentially. We can bring in three, four more classes of astronauts. What do you think, Deke?

  Wernher von Braun : Well, I could sure use the extra manpower, but I don't know, 12's flight is right around the corner.

  Thomas Paine : Yeah, we may need to move that up a tad.

  Wernher von Braun : Thomas, listen to me. We cannot allow this encroachment. I've seen it before. My Aggregat 4, it was designed for low Earth orbit. When the Wehrmacht saw its potential, it became the V-2, a terrible weapon. We cannot allow space to become another battlefield.

  Thomas Paine : It already is.
