I don't like it, and I'm sorry I ever had anything to do with it.

Note that John Young was also on Apollo 10 for the poop bag incident, and once got chewed out by management for smuggling a corned beef sandwich into orbit on Gemini 3. After Apollo landed he stuck with NASA and commanded the first shuttle mission. He is quite possibly the best astronaut.

Per Shuttle-era astronaut and fantastic memoirist Mike Mullane, John Young was an abysmally terrible manager of people and (notwithstanding the respect forhis accomplishments as an astronaut) was universally loathed by the astronaut corps he ran.
