In reading all the coverage about Neil Armstrong and his
life I am reminded of how incredible the Apollo program was. The Apollo 11 computer was less powerful than
a typical smart phone. That was hi tech
then but now we look back at it with amazement.
The astronauts, NASA, and the country had a confidence in their ability
to come out on top, to achieve. To do
whatever it took to reach their goal. Do
we still have that? Or do we hide? Are
we timid? Now we say, its impossible because of this or that but going to the
moon was impossible when JFK challenged us to do it anyway. They had the heart and strength to make it
happen. Does America still have that
same kind of heart and strength to overcome the challenges we face today?
