Footprints on the Moon

Today is the anniversary of the first moon landing!  I'm always speechless when I try to comprehend that it took thousands of years for man to learn to fly, and then only 66 years to walk on the moon!

To Boldly Go...

If we could accomplish these incredible feats, then even if certain powers that be want to hold us back and pack it up, with enough patience, embracing of history and our time-tested determination: We Will Go Back to Space, and Beyond.

I'm sure there were some 84 year olds watching the 1969 moon landing on their children's new-fangled TV sets, who remembered when they were recent high school grads in 1903 and heard about the Kitty Hawk flight on the radio.  In 1903, aircraft seemed a bit out of reach, especially since commercial flights were still a long way off--but it got the ball rolling.  And, despite the current setbacks, NASA exploration will continue in the near future.  Onward and upward!
