Note: Even as a small child, I was enamored with NASA. I was young but I remember where I was when men landed on the moon. I remember being excited about the shuttle program and have been fortunate to see several shuttle launches, one from the VIP viewing section, compliments of a US Senator from the state I lived in at the time. Seeing a shuttle launch in person is the single, most exciting thing I have ever witnessed, the light from the engines during lift-off was the most brilliant light I have ever seen. However, the biggest impact was the pounding on your body as the concussion from the sound waves created by the engines, washed around you. I took advantage of this prompt to pay homage to the men and women of NASA. My hope is that someday, soon, we reach for the stars again.
