I distilled this list once upon a time...Armstrong - "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
Aldrin - "Looks like the secondary strut had a little thermal effects on
it right here, Neil." (His "Magnificent desolation." quote was said
while he stood on the pad of the lander.)
Conrad - "Whoopie! Man, that may have been a small one for Neil, but
that's a long one for me."
Bean - "Okay. My, that Sun is bright."
Shepard - "Okay, you're right. Al is on the surface. And it's been a
long way, but we're here."
Mitchell - "That last one is a long one."
Scott - "Okay, Houston. As I stand out here in the wonders of the
unknown at Hadley, I sort of realize there's a fundamental truth to our
nature. Man must explore."
Irwin - "Boy, that front pad is really loose, isn't it?"
Young - "There you are: Mysterious and Unknown Descartes. Highland
plains. Apollo 16 is gonna change your image. I'm sure glad they got ol'
Brer Rabbit, here, back in the briar patch where he belongs."
Duke - "Fantastic! Oh, that first foot on the lunar surface is super,
Tony!"
Cernan - "Jack, I'm out here. Oh, my golly! Unbelievable! Unbelievable;
but is it bright in the Sun."
Schmitt: "Why don't you come over here and let me deploy your antenna?"
