#Nixon50 #OTD 2/5/1971 President Nixon watched live television coverage of the Apollo 14 astronauts on the lunar surface. From President Nixon’s statement: “Apollo 14's successful landing on the moon was a thrilling event for humanity. I congratulate the astronauts and also the thousands of other dedicated people who helped make this awesome achievement possible. I join with all Americans in wishing the astronauts well as they carry out their mission on the moon and wish them Godspeed for a safe and successful return to earth." This is a NASA image of Commander Alan B. Shepard Jr. at the lunar Fra Mauro landing site. Shepard was one of NASA's first seven astronauts (the Mercury Seven) and also the first American in space.

Ay'dan Dünya'ya baktığınızda, anında küresel bir bilince, halk odaklı bir algıya erişirsiniz. Dünya'nın durumuna duyduğunuz dayanılmaz tatminsizliğinizi hissedersiniz ve bununla ilgili bir şeyler yapmak için bir saplantı büyür içinizde... Oradan, Ay'dan Dünya'ya baktığınızda, uluslararası politika aşağılık bir uygulama gibi gözükür. Bir politikacıyı yakasından yakalamak, 2 milyon kilometre boyunca uzayda sürüklemek ve suratına şöyle haykırmak istersiniz: "Şuna bir bak, seni orospu çocuğu!" Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 Astronotu
