- Tom Kelly: (looking at a small model of the LEM) Weight's gonna be the most important factor. Of course, if we could find some teeny-tiny astronauts, we'd be done in a month.
  EDIT SHARE
- Tom Kelly: As long as people speak up about their mistakes, we've got a shot, okay? They try to sweep it under the rug, and we're not going to go to New Jersey, let alone the moon.
  EDIT SHARE
- Tom Kelly: It's no longer the Lunar Excursion Module anymore. Everybody feels that "excursion" sounds like it's going to go out on a school trip. From now on, it's just the Lunar Module.
  EDIT SHARE
- Rusty Schweickart: (after jettisoning the Luner Module) I hope I didn't leave anything in there.
  EDIT SHARE
- Bob Carbee: Remember when this whole thing (building the LEM) was going to cost $500 million?
  Tom Kelly: You know, I can't even remember when it was gonna cost a billion.
  EDIT SHARE
- Jim McDivitt: (looking at the lunar module) She's a beautiful machine, Tom.
  Tom Kelly: Isn't she?
  Rusty Schweickart: (as he and McDivitt walk away) You really think it's beautiful?
  Jim McDivitt: God no! It looks like a toaster oven with legs. But I'm not gonna tell him that.
