"Houston, Tranquility base here...the eagle has landed." Hard to believe it's been forty years to date since we heard those words transmitted from Neil Armstrong on the surface of the Moon that would forever change the world. As I type, Space Shuttle Endeavor is currently docked with the International Space Station orbiting the Earth. The Space Shuttle fleet will be retiring next year. Then...finally, we set our sights back to the Moon & beyond to the red planet. It's time. It's more than time. Whether a lunar surface or a cold Atlantic shore, there are lessons to be learned & vast knowledge to be gained from pushing the boundaries of our confines. And I for one cannot wait. Congratulations NASA. Here's to the next 40 years of exploring the final frontier. Monday, July 20, 2009
