The passenger's comments as he descends the stairs and reflects on what he experienced mirrors the words of another explorerer not to long ago:

You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international pilotics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, "Look at that!"

-Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 Astronaut, 1974

They are still taking applications from all branches of the military, believe it or not. One of my good buddies just finished a tour with them, and he was a Navy P-3 pilot.
It is an amazing platform.
