“You develop an instant global consciousness, a people
orientation, an intense
disatisfaction with the state of the world, and a
compulsion to do something
about it. From out there on the moon, international
politics look so petty. You want
to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck
and drag him a quarter of a million
miles out and say, 'Look at that, you
(censored).'”
