Apollo 11 lifted off 40 years ago today, taking Neil Armstrong and company to Moon...I remember watching first step several days later...A Great Day for 'Mankind'.
If first step were taken today, 40 years later it would not be politically correct to say 'Mankind'.It would read something like this:A Great Day for Men, Women, Gay, Transgender, Muslim, Jew, Christian, Atheist, Black, Non-White, Non-Married...and so on.
On this Day 40 years ago the world collectively held it’s breath...Nothing in the last 40 years (except Apollo 13, 'Houston We Have A Problem) can compare to uniting a people..earthlings.
The fallout technology from Space program has improved our lives...Stimulus money should be spent on programs that benefit all of Mankind. Not only the benefits of fallout technology but a sense of Worldly Being...Just a Monk wandering...

my better half has been wandering around all week listening to frequency 145.620 on some large hand held radio. He listens as the space shuttle travels and reports "they are over Africa...they are over spain..." He can't believe there is not a tv station devoted to this information sharing and ponders why kids are not more interested. If Cronkite was still working fulltime might there be more reporting? Maybe E! could redefine their programming.
