Congratulations to all the men and women who 40 years ago accomplished what President John F. Kennedy had challenged them to do just a few years before.Just a dream when JFK made his landmark speech heralding the abilities of American scientists and daring them to achieve the impossible, the vision became a reality when Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin made it to the moon and back.
July 20, 1969...a great day indeed for all mankind.
On a side note...
Right now my name is orbiting the moon, in digital form on a tiny microchip.
So, in some small way, I too have a connection to the legacy of those who have reached for the moon.
