Virgil Ivan Grissom: Citáty anglicky

“If we die we want people to accept it. We are in a risky business, and we hope that if anything happens to us, it will not delay the program. The conquest of space is worth the risk of life.”

On the dangers and importance of the mission of going to the moon in "Gemini : A Personal Account of Man's Venture Into Space (1968) by Virgil I. Grissom
Kontext: If we die we want people to accept it. We are in a risky business, and we hope that if anything happens to us, it will not delay the program. The conquest of space is worth the risk of life. Our God-given curiosity will force us to go there ourselves because in the final analysis, only man can fully evaluate the moon in terms understandable to other men.

“Do good work.”

The entirety of a speech given by Grissom to the employees of General Dynamics, builders of the Atlas rocket. (Light This Candle: The Life and Times of Alan Shepard, Neal Thompson, 2007, p. 239)
