Re: The moon and Tom Hanks...'we don't need to go back there again.'

....Well, first, you wrote a very deceptive subject line. Tom Hanks
didn't say we don't need to go back there; he's saying that that's what
we, as a people, have been saying about it.

Then:

And maybe we should do it again?" Axelrod asks.

"Well," Hanks says, "the question would be why?"

However, while this was the end of the quoting of Tom within this story,
I'm sure it wasn't the end of the conversation. I'd like to think it
was meant to be an opener, and that the conversation went on to explore
some of the reasons why. (The CBS article switches to Eugene Cernan for
an answer.)

I'd love to get a more complete transcript of the conversation with
Hanks, though. I've had the impression that he really does want us to
go back, and the opinion of such a mega-celebrity can be influential, so
I'd like to be sure I'm right about that. If anybody knows where to
find a fuller transcript, please let us know!

Thanks,
