…and
the rockets' red glare…

This
is off topic for the usual content of this site, but this Saturday I was able
to witness the launch of a Titan 4B rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in
Florida. There is certainly something special about space travel. While touring
the exhibits including the Apollo program one can not help think what it would
be like to be apart of something that big. While there are many large scale
accomplishments being achieved by large groups of people, is there anything
else like putting a man on the moon? At PDC I heard how Microsoft is spending
more on Longhorn than it cost to put a man on the moon ($450,000,000) [There,
this post is now on topic] I hope that NASA is able to refocus on a large goal
like heading back to the moon, or to Mars. There have been so many spin-offs
that have benefited society as a result of their efforts.
