We Have Ignition

Out of the 6,500,000,000 people alive on earth right now, there are 7 who are in space orbiting the planet at 17,000 miles per hour. Just 7 of them. Conducting experiments that will improve life for the other 6,499,999,993 of us.

I watched them blast off on Friday night.

Thanks NASA.

Politics Aside

I will bet that 95% of the blogisphere today is about recent political events, like, say, a recent election in the U.S.

OK, count me in on the conversation. Except, I'm not really thinking politically. Just with my heart right now. And here's what I see:

If you were around in the '60's, like I was, then you might share a little bit of my excitement over such a reality coming to pass in the near future.

I don't think that needs much explanation. Just picture it with me and smile.
