Memorable quotes for

The Great American Chase (1979)


Wile E. Coyote: Allow me to introduce myself. My name is "Wile E. Coyote"... Genius. I am not selling anything nor am I working my way through college, so let's get down to cases. You are a rabbit, and I am going to eat you for supper. Now don't try to get away! I am more muscular, more cunning, faster, and larger than you are... and I'm a genius. Why you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarten. So, I'll give you the customary 2 minutes to say your prayers.

Bugs Bunny: I'm sorry, mac, but the lady of the house ain't home and besides we mailed you people a check last week!

Wile E. Coyote: Why do they always want to do it the hard way?










From 5/1/1973 ( my graduation from University of Oxford at Lincoln College includes law degree ) to 10/18/1989 ( Galileo spacecraft launched for Jupiter by United States STS-34 Atlantis spacecraft under my personal supervision onboard United States STS-34 Atlantis spacecraft as United States Navy Fleet Admiral Thomas Reagan ) is 6014 days

6014 = 3007 + 3007

From 1/19/1976 ( United States of America congressional joint resolution Public Law 94-479 General of the Armies of the United States applies to me personally and professionally as Fleet Admiral Thomas Reagan United States Navy ) to 10/18/1989 ( Galileo spacecraft launched for Jupiter by United States STS-34 Atlantis spacecraft under my personal supervision onboard United States STS-34 Atlantis spacecraft as United States Navy Fleet Admiral Thomas Reagan ) is 5021 days

From 7/16/1963 ( my wife ) to 4/14/1977 ( I returned to Earth after successfully diverting the comet in the outer solar system ) is 5021 days



From 3/14/1965 ( I am active duty United States of America Central Intelligence Agency officer ) to 10/18/1989 ( Galileo spacecraft launched for Jupiter by United States STS-34 Atlantis spacecraft under my personal supervision onboard United States STS-34 Atlantis spacecraft as United States Navy Fleet Admiral Thomas Reagan ) is 8984 days

8984 = 4492 + 4492

From 7/16/1963 ( my wife ) to 11/2/1975 ( I launched from Earth by myself to intercept Comet Lucifer in the outer solar system ) is 4492 days

STS-34

STS-34 was a space shuttle mission by NASA using the Space Shuttle Atlantis. It was the 31st shuttle mission, and the 5th flight for Atlantis. It carried the Galileo probe bound for Jupiter.


The Space Shuttle Atlantis lifted off from Pad B, Launch Complex 39, KSC, at 12:53 p.m. EDT on Oct. 18, 1989. It carried the Jupiter-bound Galileo spacecraft in its cargo bay.


The first major task in orbit was deployment of the Galileo spacecraft with its attached IUS booster. Deployment occurred on schedule at 7:15 EDT, slightly more than six hours after launch, and the IUS performed flawlessly to send the spacecraft toward Venus on the first leg of its six-year journey to Jupiter.

Astronauts send Galileo `to another world'

HOUSTON CHRONICLE

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - The Atlantis astronauts successfully started Galileo on its long journey toward Jupiter late Wednesday


Atlantis soared from its Kennedy Space Center launch pad at 12:53 p.m. (11:53 a.m. Houston time), just three minutes into a 29-minute launch window.

"It was just a good-looking launch," said NASA Deputy Administrator J.R. Thompson.

Aboard Atlantis are mission commander Don Williams, pilot Mike McCulley and mission specialists Franklin Chang-Diaz, Shannon Lucid and Ellen Baker.

After slipping into a 180-mile-high orbit, the shuttle fliers began a series of steps leading to Galileo's much-anticipated debut.

At 7:15 p.m., Galileo and the powerful two-stage rocket booster that was to propel it out of the Earth's gravitational grasp drifted from the payload bay as the shuttle sailed over the west coast of California.

"Galileo is now on its way to another world," Williams said, confirming the deployment.

Firing Atlantis' steering engines, Williams maneuvered his ship a safe distance from the rocket blast that soon would emerge from Galileo's stubby booster.

On schedule an hour later, the booster's first stage fired for 2 1/2 minutes before falling away.

"That sounds like good news," radioed Lucid, who supervised the Galileo rocket operation for the crew, when informed of the successful burn.

Within a few moments, the booster's second stage began a 105-second burn, then Galileo separated from the rocket and broke free of the Earth's bonds, falling toward the sun.

As Galileo sped away, its power booms, scientific instruments and communications antenna unfurled, giving it a buglike appearance.

All the craft's systems appeared to be operating normally, said NASA's Galileo project manager, Richard Spehalski.

The spacecraft's complicated trajectory through the solar system will sling it around Venus in early February. Then, Galileo will swing twice around the Earth - in December 1990 and again in December 1992 - before it veers toward a December 1995 rendezvous with Jupiter.

Each of those planetary "flybys" is intended to give Galileo the momentum required to reach Jupiter, because a launcher with the thrust for a straight shot was not available.

Michelle Wie is wearing a glove on her left hand too.

I'm wondering about the kids I must have that are not so talented. I won't know anything about them until I actually remember my real identity.

Lieutenant?
- What? No singing?|- Look, I'm ...
No apologies.
If you don't mind, I'll just take a quick|shower while you're finishing up here.
I do mind. I'm hungry.
And then I thought about it.
I thought,|"You know, he's a smart guy."
"Why don't you just tell him|why you've got him here?"
It's the MiG.

Buzz Aldrin

Buzz Aldrin was born in Montclair, New Jersey on January 20, 1930. His mother, Marion Moon, was the daughter of an Army Chaplain. His father, Edwin Eugene Aldrin, was a Colonel in the Air Force, a ScD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and an aviation pioneer. Buzz was educated at the US Military Academy at West Point, graduating third in his class with a BS in mechanical engineering. He then joined the Air Force where he flew F86 Sabre Jets in 66 combat missions in Korea, shot down two MIG-15's, and was decorated with the Distinguished Flying Cross. After a tour of duty in Germany flying F100's, he went on to earn his Doctorate of Science in Astronautics at MIT and wrote his thesis on Manned Orbital Rendezvous.

Men from Earth (Hardcover)

by Buzz Aldrin (Author)


From Library Journal

To coincide with the 20th anniversary this July of the first manned lunar landing, these books provide intimate accounts of how NASA accomplished the national goal of putting a man on the moon before the end of the decade. In his book, Aldrin, the second man on the moon, interweaves the story of U.S. and Soviet efforts to reach the moon with his first-hand experience flying both the Gemini and Apollo missions during the height of the space race. His recounting of his two space flights is compelling, especially the account of the nearly aborted Apollo 11 lunar landing.
