"When Werner von Braun headed the Marshall Space Flight Center, he received letters from all over the world and had a number of secretaries to compose standard replies. Sometimes von Braun would scribble a few words in the margins of the 'form letters.' On one occasion, a college student wrote asking about the future of space flight; the secretaries wrote a cautious and formal reply, pointing out the risks, boredom and uncertainties of this new field, suggesting that the student consider all alternatives. Von Braun scratched through the cautious reply and scribbled, 'Come with us! We're going to the moon!'" (Houston Hodges, in Ecunet [database online], (Huntsville Times), [cited 7 September 1994], meeting name: Bottom Drawer, file name: A000000T.MSG.)
