The Walk Of Ed White

Monolgue:

And these are the words of Ed White: "Well, we can't tell right now what may be there or what we're going to learn by going there. But those of you with children will appreciate better what I mean. We have somehow got to make this world a better place to live in. And maybe we'll find some of the answers out there in space, answers to problems like crime, over-population, perhaps even the answer to war.

Now as I remember, during my little walk about the earth, you can see problems in what I guess you'd call better perspective. They look mighty small from 150 miles up. The world looks cleaner and so much more beautiful. Maybe we can make it that way - the way God intended it to be - by giving everyone that new perspective from out in space. We can give our young people a new frontier, a new world, maybe even many new worlds to explore. It's going to be exciting, this conquest of space, full of a lot of wonderful things, things we haven't even dreamed about yet."
