In 1969 I was 16, and for me anything was possible. '2001: A Space Odyssey' was in theaters. Man's future in space seemed limitless, and here on TV to punctuate it all were men walking on the moon.

Man is now able to soar into outer space and reach up to the moon; but he is not moral enough to live at peace with his neighbor!

I have the LIFE magazine of the men walking on the moon.

The future is limitless.

If somebody had told me when I was in graduate school, 'Brian, in 35 years you'll get a chance to fly the first commercial spacecraft with no computers,' I'd have said, 'I don't think so. People are not going to be that stupid.'

I don't know what the future holds. Anything is possible.
