"Working on the Moon is very
nice; at one-sixth gravity, it's very delightful. Just enough stability
to make everything fall, but ... as you might imagine, you can jump a long
way. With our pressure suits on ... we probably weighed 360-70 pounds earth-weight.
On the Moon you could ... stand down at the bottom of the ladder, could
pick up 100-pound sack of rocks, ... and you could jump flatfooted with
all that weight up to the second rung of the Lunar Module ladder, which
was about five or six feet off the ground. Just flat jump right up to it."
John Young, NASA interview, 3-17-83 |
When a NASA geologist suggested that Young scrawl some messages on the lunar soil during Apollo 16, he replied, I'll stomp out any words you want, except 'help!' - One Small Step, Tim Furniss |

"They wanted me to take pictures of the bottom of the crater. I told them
if they wanted me to do that, they'd have to give me a rope. They told me
a rope wouldn't work in a vacuum.
You folks think a rope knows if it's in a vacuum?" John Young, at the International Lunar Conference 11-17-03 |
