One small step...

Forty-five years ago today, July 20, 1969, I watched astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin land and walk on the moon, as astronaut Michael Collins orbited the space capsule above. My family, with my grandmother, all crowded into the family room to watch the astounding historic images on TV. My grandmother, who at the time was 87 years old, was perhaps the most stunned of all of us watching the event. She noted that in her lifetime, as a little girl, she read by candlelight, as did Julius Caesar, but she also lived long enough to see Americans walk on the moon. That has stayed with me ever since. A day to remember and celebrate American engineering and technology, and use our vision and innovation for the quests and challenges to come.
