Mercury, Gemini and Apollo ... these were space programs which fascinated me in the 1960's as a child growing up in northern Minnesota. When President Kennedy dedicated our country to land on the moon by the end of the decade, this quest inspired me and many other young children to life long love of science and technology. I still remember getting up in the middle of the night to watch Apollo moon walks live on TV.
We need this kind of inspiring science to attract a new generation of young scientists. In the short term, rather than these heavy thoughts, I will relive that first moon flight (Apollo 11) ... and you can too starting this Thursday. Link to:
Definitely visit the "We Choose the Moon" web site ... it's big time cool. Click upon the image to view a copy of the root page full sized.
