The Eagle Has Landed - 40 years ago today
This is an important day for me. Not only did mankind take its first steps on the moon, but my parents met on this day, watching this event, 40 years ago.
Though perhaps they would have met some other time if not for this, I am the person I am today because they met at this time. They shared their reverence and enthusiasm for science and space with me through the years. Though I never became an astronaut or worked for NASA, I still cherish their encouragement and support and I still enjoy following the exploration of space and reading about science.
