"Good morning, Mr. Ben. | |
It's about 6:30 — | |
Winston-Salem, North Carolina. | |
Um...just laying here in the bed, | |
half awake, half asleep, | |
thinking about you. | |
I was wondering if you were looking | |
after your most valuable possession: | |
your mind. | |
I was thinking about John Glenn, | |
his space journey and all. | |
They said that when you're in space | |
you lose muscle mass and the body | |
mass and I wondered if there was any | |
end to it. | |
Or whether, | |
if you didn't exercise in space, how | |
long it would be before you were just | |
a head, or a mind — and have no body | |
or arms. You'd have them but you | |
couldn't use them. | |
I was wondering if if your body mass | |
would drop to a certain level, and then | |
it would stop right there. And keep | |
whatever you needed to use your mind | |
because it would still be working." | |
(30 seconds remaining) | |
"Anyway, I was just pondering that. | |
What do you think about...that? | |
I hope everything is going alright. | |
I may well wake up here in a little while | |
and forget what I was thinking about." |
