I was alive - and at church - for the first walk on the moon. No, we wern't reading the Bible, we were gathered around a small TV watching the miracle of space travel.
I was ironing my white shirt while watching TV before going to work. The Challenger was launched then disappeared. I was stunned beyond belief. I worked all day in a sort of fog. I couldn't believe there were people going out to eat, shopping, being happy.
Space Travel has been a part of my existance and one of life's huge fascinations and miracles. Tomorrowland was built on that dream and did a great job of capturing the magic. Tomorrowland is not the same, but it's nice to see the dream of space travel is still a reality.
Oh, and nice musings, Erica. The cemetery missile was simply amazing.
