Welcome Home!

There is never enough attention paid to NASA. The flight crew of the Atlantis made it back to earth today, after visiting the international space station.

Space Station. The word always makes me think, "That's no moon. It's a space station!"

How amazing that as humans we have the capacity for such ingeniuty and technological advances? I love NASA and the space program and everything they have come to represent about humanity. I'm sure they represent other things too, but for me they still make me think of heros and crazy, the-devil-may-care pilots who risk everything in the pursuit of something amazing.

Welcome home Atlantis! It's mighty good to see you safe and sound!

But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask, why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas? - John F. Kennedy, 1962
