6	trekkeruss Sun 6/15/2008 7:51p	I'm watching it right now. Very good stuff... the Right Stuff, even. The only thing missing is the reason why we did it: to beat the pants off the Russians. It literally was a space race. If it hadn't been for the Soviet threat, we may not have gone when we did, if at all.

My dad is retired NASA, and when I was about 10 we were living in Houston and I remember we went out to an air base to see Apollo (I can't remember which one) astronauts come back. They were in the quarantine trailor that was pulled out the back of a big transport. I'll never forget that. I also have a quote from Mike Collins in my 4th grade classroom..."It's human nature to explore...(mind blank - mine!)... Exploration is not a choice, it's an imperative." We should have returned to the moon years ago.
