But it was exciting; there we were, the third and fourth people on the Moon, doing what we were supposed to do, what we had planned to do, and keeping within schedule. Add to that the excitement of just being there, and I think we could be forgiven for reacting with enthusiasm," recalled Pete Conrad (NASA SP-350, chapter 12.2). Literature: Jacobs, p. 77.
