| "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." |
