I loved a comment he made many years later on Radio 4 when the presenter
asked
"What was going through your mind when you were waiting on
the launch pad?", to which he replied,
"Every part of this rocket was subcontracted to the cheapest bidder"

That was previously said by John Glenn - the first American into space.

I probably misremembered it then - thanks for the correction.
