Lovell and Sweigart were friends of mine - Hayes was just an acquaintance. I spent more time with Sweigart than any other Apollo astronaut.

I watched the Right Stuff with my parents when I was young, and I've always been fascinated by the space program since. You said something in an earlier post, that was close to the great quote by Gene Kranz...

quote:

NASA Director: This could be the worst disaster NASA's ever faced.
Gene Kranz: With all due respect, sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour.
