... that goes with it. I already feel as though our country is in a state of contraction, and giving up on the space program is part of that contraction of vision. This is my first contribution to the argument here, and writing even this small bit feels like grieving a loss.
JFK caught us in a moment and inspired us to go for it -- but we were ready. My younger sister got her degree in computer engineering at UC Berkeley in the early 1970s, and during that time she confided to me that she wanted to apply for the space program. It was that real to us.
I'm so sorry to see the dream pass. :cry: <-- real tears
