Young, speaking of the upcoming Apollo 16 mission:
"It probably won't mean a great deal to the average guy in the street for a long time, but it'll sure mean something to his children. It may even mean the difference between making it and not making it for his grandchildren."
- "Washington Evening Star", 4-16-72

Young and Duke

Prime crew
Commenting on the possibility that Apollo 16 and 17 might be cancelled because of budgetary reasons:

"Such action would confirm the widespread suspicion that the United States was less interested in the scientific results of lunar exploration than the prestige of being the first nation to land men on the moon."
- New York Times editorial, 12-5-71
