damont...a pretty amazing feat of technology and human spirit reached an historic milestone. I mostly repeat what I said ten years ago on this date.
In commemoration of Apollo 11's landing on Luna, 20 July 1969 (Eastern Daylight Time), I think a song by Leslie Fish is in order.
You can hear Julia Ecklar perform it on this wonderful video that's up on YouTube.
If humanity is determined, then maybe Time really won't drive us (as a race) down to dust again. (I'm rather less optimistic **overall** now than I was ten years ago, even as spaceflight has advanced so far in that decade.)
Also, check out my story of an encounter I had a little more than ten years ago that touches on one aspect of this amazing feat.
