Punky Brewster1984

Buzz Aldrin:
Your teacher tells me you'd like to be an astronaut.

Penelope 'Punky' Brewster:
Yeah but you know, because of what happened to the space shuttle, my friends think I'm out of my gourd.

Buzz Aldrin:
A lot of the kids at my elementary school laughed at me for wanting to fly to the moon and be part of the space program.

Penelope 'Punky' Brewster:
Wait a minute, they didn't have the space program way back then.

Buzz Aldrin:
Maybe that's why they laughed. But this is the way I look at it; astronauts are explorers and all through history, people have thought that explorers are a little bit off their rockers.
