I can’t remember which astronaut/pilot said it, but more like a flying brick is what I remember it being described as. The landing speeds and sink rates were nuts. Still amazes me that they could be going thousands of miles an hour and in minutes be at a full stop. Also amazes me they never had a landing mishap/nav error etc.
