Nothing fascinates me as much as space. To think that these 3 men made that journey and went where "no man had gone before" gives me goosebumps. I often think the only reason we made it through the 1960's as well as we did was because we were all aiming towards a single purpose - to get to the Moon. Certainly there were distractions like Vietnam, the so called War on Poverty and of course, important Civil Rights breakthroughs, but the journey to the Moon was one we could all take together and one that we could all be proud of. I'm really proud of that event and of our space program! Thank you for running this... I really enjoyed this post very, very much! Nothing fascinates me as much as space.
