[Glenn and Goldin emphatically denied the charge.] Nothing could be further from the truth, … I have to this day not discussed the campaign finance hearings with the president, the vice president or anyone at...

You weren’t half as glad as I was,

Would I have him do this? N-o-o-o-o, … Am I being supportive? You bet.

Yes! A one-word answer. I guess I should just stop there,

You know, back when I did the Mercury flight,

Discovery and this crew took us around and around, and that view is still tremendous, … To those whose prayers followed us around the world, our heartfelt thanks and appreciation.

The good lord only gave men so many hormones, and if others want to waste theirs growing hair that’s up to them

Good for her, … I think too many people live by the calendar and become couch potatoes. I think people should do what they want to do and what they can do.

What this does is create such cynicism and doubt about our whole political system that’s it’s a dangerous thing for the future, … That’s the reason why I wanted to take the broadest possible look...

It’s been a great ride so far, … To be able to float around in Zero-G, I just wish everybody could experience this. The view is so hard to describe. It’s moving, it’s emotional, when...

Both of us had the same response when we heard about this, … It was kind of like, ‘Been there, don’t want to do that again.’ Our whole lives, we both have lived with the...

taking part in some research in a hospital someplace.

For all the advances in medicine, there is still no cure for the common birthday.

It’s an advantage up here for older folks because in Zero-G you can move around much more easily, … I’ve been bumping my head a lot on things as I float around here, but that’s...

This story, as far as I know right now, is the only one so far, where the head of a national political party knowingly and successfully solicited foreign money, infused it into the election process,...

This is a day we have managed to avoid for a quarter of a century.

I’m just a working stiff.

To look out at this kind of creation out here and not believe in God is to me impossible, … It just strengthens my faith. I wish there were words to describe what it’s like.

To my way of thinking, is it wrong to say ‘Thanks’ in the White House? … Was it wrong for President [Gerald] Ford or President Reagan or President Bush to say ‘Thank you’ to donors...

I wish that every flight received this same kind of attention. Each flight deserves it,

just going down to the corner to get chewing gum.

I’ve snuck up there and sat down a couple of times just to see what it feels like, I must admit, … Would I like to have a chance to be in command of a...

I have been pleasantly surprised by the outpouring of interest in this flight,

It will be good to have him home.

I don’t have any quarrel with sending written questions or submitting whatever kind of testimony they want over there are the White House. That’s up to the president,

I wish I had the same kind of outrage on the Republican side of this failure of the Republican National Committee and the Dole campaign to produce materials vital to this investigation.

like a little kid.

You don’t need a walker up here and you don’t need to worry about osteoporosis or a cane or anything like that, because you just float across the room,

They try to kill our beliefs.

All I can tell you is I feel 100 percent better than I did one week ago at this time, … I was scared. I was really excited for John, but now I can say...

What impresses me every time I come in and see this thing, … is how fast aviation advanced beyond the Wright brothers. If you think it was only about 15 years until they were dog...

But Al brought us back,

I know there’s a lot of interest in this, … But I’m here to be a working crew member, training as a working crew member, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

Let me castigate the press a moment here. Too often you get into the human aspects of this and you don’t get into the scientific stuff that gets into everybody’s house all over this country.

I don’t blame him wanting to go up,

Even though they are released from the prison they couldn’t get a job easily, so we try to train them, such as computer training, and English courses so they could get a job easily.

My brother and I both had a very similar response, … We were 100 per cent against it. It’s kind of like ‘been there, don’t want to do that again.’

We were sort of feeling our way and finding out what would happen to the human body in space.

I think we have the opportunity here of doing some great things for this country, … I think through the years, over the past dozen years or so, the pernicious influence of money in political...

I’ve read every intelligence document. I’ve been in every intelligence briefing. And there’s nothing yet that makes me change my mind that the 1996 presidential race was not affected by the Chinese plan.

What comprises relaxation here is really standing on your head and looking at things from a different direction or putting balls of water out to just float right in front of you,

and I cried.

I’ve been lucky enough to have a lot of opportunities in my own life, so I’m not usually given over to much envy of other people. But for Neil, I make a big exception.

The most important thing we can do is inspire young minds and to advance the kind of science, math and technology education that will help youngsters take us to the next phase of space travel.

Go with me and tell a Gold Star mother her son didn’t hold a job. Go to Arlington National Cemetery, watch those flags, stand there and tell me those people didn’t have a job.

largely an opportunity lost.

Whether it was considered legal or illegal or whatever, there was foreign money that came back into the system, … And I’m sure we’re going to be getting more in subsequent weeks about foreign money...

There is not anything like a broken hip or anything like that, and if you have trouble sleeping at night, why it’s no problem because there’s another one coming up in 45 minutes.

A little different trip this time,

I envy Neil for that wonderful, wonderful experience.
