And when you are sitting in an office all day, meeting an endless stream of people you don’t know, it’s easy to get them a bit muddled up. That’s why [Mandela] wanted to know about the moon. He had plainly been told the three of us were astronauts.
This was tricky. I couldn’t very well say that we were not because that might look argumentative; nor could I say that we made a poky BBC2 television programme about cars because then he might wonder what on earth we were doing wasting his valuable time.
So I did what I thought was best and said it was very rocky and dusty and there was not much gravity.
