"If Congress wants to be truly responsible about our national priorities, it will avoid making further cuts which would damage the space program out of proportion to the savings involved...We are already reaping huge benefits from weather and communications satellites, as well as from the development of compact, high-speed computers, new metals and fabrics, microminiature circuits and many other technological advances...The line between true and false economy is hard to draw. But the space program is one area where the time has come to draw it."
- Los Angeles Times editorial, 1-31-71

"We kind of think of it as sort of landing in the top of the Andes Mountains... I think it's going to be pretty darn interesting."
- John Young, New York Daily News, 4-17-72
