40 years ago today, Apollo 11 launched from the Kennedy Space Center to make its journey to the Moon. It marked the beginning of a journey that was the culmination of hundreds of thousands of peoples’ work and passion. I wish I was alive to see the launch and landing. It’s amazing to me that the missions to the Moon still evoke awe and wonder in us. It seems we could use a worldwide jolt of awe and wonder now. Check out this site: We Choose the Moon. It recreates the Apollo 11 mission in real time. Very cool.
