...never exact, and as the genome project approaches completion, it is becoming increasingly clear just how bad the analogy really is. Landing a human on our nearest cosmic neighbor was a straightforward achievement with no need for caveats or footnotes. As of July 20, 1969, nobody had set foot on another world. The next day, Armstrong had. Simple as that...
...comes with the territory. These films are not easy to make. Everybody knows when we go into it there will be physical things - tough stuff to go through like working in a tank with water cannons and the gimbal and the locking bolt and creating 100-foot wave effects. They know it's not easy stuff. I must tell you, I'm immensely impressed how all the actors were up to it. We had no real problems; I could do whatever I wanted to do with them.

It was really frightening, but I just loved it. The actors like it too because...
...club requires that men be six-foot-two and women be five-foot-ten. It provides social outlets, moral support for tall people--who sometimes feel the sting of verbal jabs about height--and a venue where they can trade secrets on clothing stores, airlines and hotels that accomodate tall people...
