NASA's fiftieth anniversary today!

"Per aspera ad astera."

Through adversity, to the stars.

NASA's motto is apropos to our life's journey, isn't it? We overcome hardship as we reach for our stars. 

I remember as a kid, watching the moon landing.  I wasn't really aware of what what going on. I knew the whole world was tuned into this broadcast, and it gave me a sense of "there must be so much to learn about the universe." 

It was that germ of an idea, from the image of a man walking on the moon, that started me on my lifetime of appreciation of science fact and fiction.  Thank you NASA.
