    One day down in Houston, I was driving from my hotel over to the
    Space Center and a little dog started chasing my car.  And just
    because my mind works in crazy ways, I slowed down and stopped
    and I thought what's this dog gonna do if he catches this thing,
    and I watched in the rear-view mirror.  The dog came stalking
    over very carefully, sniffed the tire, marked it territorially,
    turned around and walked away.  And at the end of the Apollo
    program I thought, that is what we have done; we caught the moon,
    we peed on it, and we left.
