Laughing Wolf reminded us a day late that July 20th was the anniversary of the first time a man walked on the moon. I was 11 and I couldn't understand why all the adults were so awed by the event. I grew up in the Mercury days, so the event was not anything remarkable to me, it was something that eventually happened. Given Apollo 13, the Challenger explosion and the Columbia disaster, the events of July 20, 1969 are much more remarkable to me now than they were when they occurred. I am still hopeful to see a man walk on Mars before I die. When I was 11, I foresaw it having already occurred.

We could be on Mars now if we cared enough... And my flying car! Where's my flying car?!
