Charles "Pete" Conrad
APOLLO 12 Commander:
Third man on the Moon.
Quote: "That may have been a short one for Neil, but it
sure was a long one for me!"
(It is said that Conrad made a $500 bet with a reporter that he could
say whatever he
wanted when he first set foot on the moon. Having
told the reporter that this is the
quote he would use before his mission, Conrad won the bet.
Lore is he never collected.)
