Two to go.

.

The third last shuttle launch. Wish i could see one of them go up. Had considered it in the last trip I did but, because the launch date is fluid, couldn't plan it in.

They are an amazing achievement.

A sobering thought

.

I loved the space race. For all the reasons young boys love adventure. It was a great quest, brilliantly achieved.

It seems like only last week that I walk home from high school to watch the landing on TV.

WWII, on the other hand, seems long long ago.

Yet I was born closer to WWII than my boys were born to the moon landing.

I wonder how they view it?
