To the moon

Posted on July 20, 2009 by Charles Kuffner

Today is the 40th anniversary of the day that man walked on the moon. I was three years old when this happened, and I have a very vague memory of watching it on TV. There’s a lively discussion going on about where NASA should go from here – some folks, like Greg, think the space-exploration business should be turned over to the private sector – but I’m not interested in that right now. I just want to celebrate the accomplishment, which to me seems more amazing now than it was then. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, I salute you. Thank you for what you did, and for inspiring us all to truly imagine a world with no boundaries.
