With one giant step mankind took banality out of America and into the Cosmos. …

In 'Appearing Nightly,' (1980) [See Neil Armstrong].
In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
(1987) --
