#13-24 I was a small, sensitive, quiet boy. The simple local schools bored me, and other children mistook my quietness for stupidity. So they nicknamed me "Useless." But even from my youth I had an aptitude for horsemanship. My father gave me the responsibility of caring for the horses and other animals on our farm.

#25-34 I loved baseball and was a good second baseman and power hitter.

At Yale University, I followed my father’s advice and stayed away from athletics so I could concentrate on my studies.

No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration of space."
