humanoidhistory:

“During the actual process of flying spacecraft, or flying the Spirit of St. Louis, one doesn’t think of one’s self as being a hero or historical figure. One does it because the challenge is there, and one feels reasonably qualified to accomplish it. And it’s later on, I suppose, perhaps at the suggestion of other people, that you say, ‘Well, yes, maybe.’”

—Alan Shepard, first American in space, oldest man to walk on the Moon, born today in 1923
