'Because you were running on adrenalin, you didn't really feel the exhaustion. That all came after you got back in the Command Module, took off the suit and relaxed for a minute. And then you realized you were just dead tired. And we hurried. Even Houston hurried us, because they wanted to get us out of orbit on the next pass, because they knew we were all dog tired.'
