One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind

With those words Neil Armstrong put into perpective the sense of hope mankind had for the space program. It was 36 years ago today those words were said. Today we still struggle to maintain a habitable enviroment in space. A launching pad for the next leap into the galactic neighborhood so to speak.

The neighbors think Earthlings are the funniest things. How funny are we? How funny is it when the neighbors kid puts aluminum foil all over a cardboard box and buys some model rocket engines and says he is going to blast himself into space?

I think we will never live to see mans greatest achievement, and that is to actually meet our neighbors. That should not stop us from allowing the next generation to be able to do so though.

When you think of the words Neil Armstrong spoke when he first landed on the moon think of all the possibilties for the future of mankind.
Thanks Neil! I hope it isn't our last great step.
