Aboard the carrier the astronauts received a telephoned message direct from Lyndon Johnson. "You have made us feel kin to those Europeans five centuries ago who first heard news of the New World," the President said. "You've seen what man has never seen before." The next day, Johnson fulfilled a tradition by promoting Bill Anders to lieutenant colonel after his first space flight...
...face of it, the space flight had little pertinence to the problems, the agonies of earth. It was possible to look at the moon over a Harlem or Watts rooftop and feel only bitterness at the money spent, the vast effort made, in a cause that would not alter a single life, a single dwelling in the ghetto.

"I am not a Romantic in revolt," he wrote, "nor a mystic scorning life, nor an insolent belligerent against Substance. I do not feel possessed by any illusion. I enter into all traps-like some extremely elastic rat, which enters the trap, eats the mixture set to catch it, and then goes on to other traps, well aware that the last trap-the trap of Death-is there waiting...
