• Deke Slayton : You know, it's not the worst way to go.

  Ellen Wilson : Which? Because right now we can pick from suffocation, starvation...

  Deke Slayton : Cannibalism.

  Ellen Wilson : Or we could just open the hatch.

  Deke Slayton : I don't know. I kinda wanna see how far we'll get. Go farther in the universe than anyone's ever gone. That's something, at least.

• Ellen Wilson : We'll have to ditch the cargo. Gonna need just about all the fuel we've got left to get our velocity down to 35,650 feet per second. The margin's gonna be... well there won't be a margin.

  Deke Slayton : Well, it's either that or we're on our way to Jupiter and Ed stays stranded.

• Deke Slayton : I always knew you had a bit of John Glenn in you. I mean, yeah, you were quiet, a little hard on yourself, but when you walk into a room, people pay attention. When you speak, people listen.
