Correct me if I'm wrong [always a dangerous thing to say on this net!], but I think Bruce McCandless (sp?) was plagiarizing Pete Conrad when he said, during his space walk/float/whatever this week, "That may have been one small step for Neil, but it was a heck of a big leap for me." Conrad, according to my recollection, was quite a bit shorter than Neil Armstrong, and said these words when he rather ungracefully stepped onto the moon for the first time during the Apollo 12 mission. When NASA's finest have already run out of interesting things to say up there, it's time to start orbiting some poets, I think!
