Jack Ridley: [talking to TV] Attaboy, Gus! [talking to Yeager] Jack Ridley: Pull that stuff on flight test, it's all over for him. I say he screwed the pooch, pardner. Plain and simple. Chuck Yeager: Yeah, well, sometimes you get a pooch that can't be screwed, ya know? Liaison Man: [chuckling] Exactly! Right now the President's got his own problems with the Bay of Pigs, he doesn't want the astronauts' image tarnished. Nothing these guys do is gonna be called a failure. You'd think the public would know they're just doing what monkeys have done. Chuck Yeager: Monkeys? You think a monkey knows he's sittin' on a rocket that might explode? These astronaut boys, they know that, see? I'll tell you somethin'. Takes a special kind of man to volunteer for a suicide mission, especially when it's on TV. Ol' Gus, he did alright.

And this generation does not intend... ...to founder in the backwash... ...of the coming age of space. We mean to be a part of it. We mean to lead it.
