We are T-6 weeks from SpaceX’s first launch of astronauts. NASA’s video of the march forward from Apollo reminds me of my favorite quote from Andrew Chaiken’s book, A Man on the Moon:
“I want us to do justice to the magnificence of the adventure that Apollo began. To live up to the promise not only of what we can achieve, but who we can become. And once we are living on the moon and venturing out across the solar system, the fact that we waited so long to resume our explorations will hardly matter. Historians of the far future may look back on Apollo and the missions that are yet to come as one great Age of Space Exploration. But in my mind’s eye it is a slow dissolve, from memory to anticipation, from what has been to what will be, from dream to dream.”
We are T-6 weeks from what will be!
We are Go flight!
Go SpaceX. Go NASA. Go #LaunchAmerica 5.0
Go, go, go!!!
