Guess it is the 40th anniversary of the lunar landing. Charles Krauthammer, one of my favorite columnist, has an editorial about it.
It is kinda sad to think that 66 years from Wright brother’s flight at Kitty Hawk, we landed on the moon, but we probably will not be going back to the moon in my lifetime. Heck, with what we are focused on in the United States with healthcare and environment, pretty soon we really will be begging Russia, China and perhaps India for a ride to space.
It’s definitely a great memory to reflect on the 40th anniv… but like you said, I hope it doesn’t become true that nothing will happen for next several decades…
I hope not too – I would like to be alive to see Americans land on Mars, but I highly doubt it.
