“The biggest problem, going around the Moon [...] is knowing, instantaneously, when you look out of the window, Where am I looking? You can’t keep track of where you are. You’re always interrupted to do something else or whatever. You’ve got to tell yourself ahead of time to figure out where you are, so that you know where to start looking for the next landmark, the next thing that is coming up.”
Ron Evans (Chaikin, Voices, p.41)
